"ambien didn&#039;t work for me at all and made me restless &amp; crazy. tried belsomra 10 mg last night (i&#039;m a small person and tend to be quite sensitive to meds). i think the dose was fine. falling asleep was pleasant and reminded me of how i used to fall asleep before the insomnia -- all good. but it did not stop me from waking several times in the night, particularly between 2-4, with restlessness; i was able to return to sleep pretty quickly each time though. but after 9 hours, i woke feeling like i had been in rem sleep all night -- sort of skimming along the surface of sleep but not going deep for most of it. i don&#039;t feel refreshed at all and fell back asleep in the chair after a full cup of coffee. not for me."
