Terresa, Restoril is ok. It has an intermediate half life which means that most of the drug will be out of the system when she awakens. I take 5-10 mg of ambien. The prescription was given to me by a psychiatrist with special interest in sleep disorders. I believe of the hypnotics(sleep inducing drugs) it causes the least disruption in the sleep cycles.
