"i have been using silenor for the past two to three weeks. i haven&#039;t noticed any increase in the amount i have been sleeping, at all. as with most patients, my problem is not with falling asleep, but rather with staying asleep (sleep maintenance).  i still seem to wake up every hour after 1 a.m. however, for some reason during the night, since i have started taking the silenor, i am less anxious than i had been about the lack of sleep, so maybe that&#039;s something."
