I Have Insomnia

Been this way for years, I take Zolpidem tartrate, cut it to half.
Enough to give me 5-6 hours of sleep without staying in my system during the day.

I used to take Zolpidem tartrate (Ambien) and did for several years. It also worked better for me if I cut it in half to 5mg.

I don't know what changed... but I bought an inexpensive noise machine and quickly discovered that the "Light Rain" setting put me to sleep really quickly. It has a 1hour timer function so I set that as I still want to wake up if I hear unusual noises in the night (it's a leftover military thing)…

YMMV but that is what worked for me.

@Threepio I had 10mg at first.Then reduced it to 5mg, that I cut it in half.

I didn’t know you’re an ex-military 😊
