"i am 75 years old and have been taking trazodone for sleep for about ten years.  i take 150 mg.  it is a miracle for insomnia.  i sleep 8 hours a night straight though.  yes, you do feel groggy in the morning when you first start taking it, but it goes away with time, so don&#039;t give up too soon when you start it because of grogginess.  i have never heard of taking it with food as one person said.  it is non addictive and i feel so rested that i do not feel the need for naps that i always used to take before trazodone."
