"my doctor prescribed clonazepam (.5mg) for sleep a few years ago when i was sleeping only an hour or two because i couldn&#039;t &quot;turn off&quot; work at the end of the day.  it&#039;s worked very well for me; i generally take on 0.25mg daily at bedtime. if work gets too nuts, i may take another 0.25mg during the day -- it &quot;takes the edge off&quot; and makes sleeping even better.  when things are calmer at work, i can generally go down to .125mg at night and still get decent sleep.  i recently read that clonazepam can cause coordination problems and confused thinking -- both of which i sometimes notice, so i&#039;m considering other options.
