Hi Sheila, You have allready received some good advice for sleep problems. I would like to add my two cents worth. Temazepam is a hypnotic sleeping med (rest-o-rill) and is habit forming so should be avoided except for very short term use. And a hypnotic trance which you are in after taking this drug is NOT sleep. I have learned this the hard way. Also most people have rebound insominia after taking it. It takes me a week to get it out of my system. And in my case I had to give up caffene in all forms and did not start sleeping better for three days after I stopped the coffee. I still have a problem, but I follow the advice allready given and in additon , when I have a sleepless night I get up, drink a glass of warm milk, eat a bowl of grits (I'm a yankee from Michigan but have lived in Tn for 39 years), then turn on the local public radio station and listen to classical music which is very soothing and helps to pass the time. Many times that will help me to get a little more sleep. Also, go to the library and get a book on sleep, that might give you some more ideas. Good Luck Lanier Maddux Chattanooga Tn.
