Ambien 5 mg, but only helped get to sleep. Wake after 2 hours and can’t get back to sleep.

Ramelteon(sp?) which is a fancy melatonin like prescription med. did nothing to help me.

Ativan. Helps sleep anxiety but is habit forming and you build resistance easily.

I’m thinking about Lunesta or Dayvigo.🤷‍♀️

I have had sleep issues for many years myself. They worsen as I get older. The long covid has made it even worse. I have a prescription for Ativan but allow myself only one night a week because, like you said, it is habit forming and I build resistance easily. I sometimes take CBD gummies or an OTC sleep aid. I take melatonin every night in addition to whatever else I take. No matter the case, I'm awake 2-4 hours every night, with maybe one night our of 10, I get 7 hrs. or so.
