"i&#039;ve always had trouble falling asleep and making my brain &quot;turn off&quot; even if i am exhausted. i have used lots of otc sleep medicines but they just weren&#039;t cutting it anymore with some added stress in my life currently. finally broke down and went to doctor for sleeping pills. was a little scared at first because even without any sleep aids when i do sleep i have been known to sleep walk/talk in sleep/etc.  normally hard for me to fall asleep but once i&#039;m out i am out cold and don&#039;t wake up. anyway. no need in worrying about the side effects for me because i did not get a wink of sleep the first night i took it. tonight is night #2 and i took it at 9:30. it is now 1 am and still here wide awake. useless."
