"i&#039;ve only ever had problems falling asleep, zaleplon really helps my mind stop think about work and other nonsense. i&#039;ve used zaleplon only when i needed to get to sleep because something was going on the next day and i would begin to worry about not being able to sleep, and it really does help with this. it also helps with jet-lag. other times, i would just drink a lot. i&#039;ve recently cut way back on the amount of alcohol and am relying much more on zaleplon. as my body is adjusting to less alcohol, i&#039;m sleeping better without it. i used to wake up as soon as the zonleplon wore off, 4 hours on the dot. now that i&#039;m drinking so much less, i&#039;m getting 6 to 7 hours sleep before waking, and then i&#039;m able to go back to sleep a get a total of 8+."
