Yes it is a benzo and I am very sensitive to any medication, so it does not take much to put me to sleep, but sometimes I wake up early 3:00 am. I take 1 mg at night. I am tapering off and am just going to sleep when my body lets me sleep. I am 70 years old, I no longer work, and as a human gets older yoou need less sleep. I sleep about 6 hours a night

I don't know if someone told you this or you are just assuming you need less sleep as you get older, but this is a fallacy. While it's true that older humans have more trouble getting enough sleep, it is absolutely not true that they need less sleep. I say this not to antagonize you, but to suggest that if a doctor is telling you this, they are dismissing you, because to invest more energy with you on this eats their valuable time, and I hate to see that happen.
