Was 30mg keeping you asleep and 15mg doesn't?

Other than this, what was your general experience with 3 years worth of Temazepam ? How frequently did you take it? Side effects, damage?

Have you had a sleep study done? I originally had the sleep study to see it would find where internal vibrations are coming from. It didn't but it did determine I had a mild case of sleep apnea. I'd always wake anywhere from 1-3 in the morning. I slept 8+hours last night, thank God, and dreamed all night. I wasn't dreaming before. I had no problem going to sleep, it was staying asleep through the night. I had 31 episodes of sleep apnea in an hour. That's why I woke, you stop breathing and it's your body's life saving mechanism so you don't die in your sleep. If you aren't dreaming, or having very short dreams, you aren't in REM sleep, which is necessary for dreaming, which in turn means you aren't staying asleep long enough at a time. I didn't snore, never woke gasping for air, nothing that would indicate sleep apnea. I now have a nasal cpap which, don't ask me why it works like this, I use the 4 hour minimum BEFORE I go to sleep. I haven't had the vibrations for 9 nights now and I haven't slept until 6 in 2 years. I do take a muscle relaxer every night but at times even that wouldn't keep me asleep. Check into the sleep study. There is a reason you are waking from your sleep.

I have type 1 Narcolepsy. We have just as much trouble staying asleep as we do staying awake. I take 200mgs a night of Quetiapine for sleep. It's an antidepressant often used for it's sedating side effects. There's also Trazodone, another antidepressant used for it's side effects to help stay asleep. A lot of people like it too and find it's very helpful in staying asleep. Neither are addicting and are good options for people who need long term help with sleeping.
