> Restoril (temazepam) is a more intense, shorter acting benzodiazepine, in relation to Valium (diazepam). It is definitely worth a try &, in my opinion, better than zopiclone or zolpidem as a hypnotic. It is not prescribed more because of abuse potential, but it keeps you asleep without much of the hangover effect seen with many hypnotics.

Ambien usually gives me about 4 hours of sleep--not much more. Lunesta makes me tired. I like that Restoril still has an anxiolytic component as I do get anxiety over my insmonia.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
