I have 1 or 2 sleepless nights a month on average, and it’s affecting my work. My boss knows about the insomnia and is understanding, but I still feel guilty for calling out of work. Trazadone makes me feel too groggy. Does anyone know of any other sleep meds that don’t?

@aconcepcion981 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. How fortunate you have an understanding boss! If you feel you are not able to function fully, have you spoken to your doctor to find out what they might suggest? Do you know ahead of time when you will have a sleepless night? Is it the result of stressors in your life, have you been able to "pin down" the reason for those nights? Perhaps taking a close look at the situation may help you find some answers.
There are the tried and true remedies of no screen time after a certain point, no caffeine, no alcohol, etc. that you might look at, also!

Have you tried Ambien (Zolpidem) Worked for me for a long time until I built up a tolerence. My sister said Trazodone works very well for her.

A combination of taking, near bedtime, Clonazepan (requires Rx) and Melatonin tabs works for me.
