"my problem is waking up after 2 hrs deep sleep and unable to get back to sleep. was prescribed lorazapam 1mg. i cut the pill in half and lay it on my end table. when i awaken from my 2hrs sleep i reach out grab one of the halves and back to sleep for 4 hrs. generally wake up refreshed. works well for me. i don&#039;t take this on a regular basis. 30 pills will last me 3mos."
