"i haven&#039;t slept normally since adolescence.  tried ambien and lots of sedatives.  i had horrible problems with doing things while asleep and not remembering on ambien, but it was the only way to get anything resembling sleep. belsomra is amazing.  i actually feel sleepy.  i had only felt that as a child, or if sick.  some side effects seem to be happening, i got bronchitis, and have had awful dreams some nights, but i&#039;m going to stick with it for a few weeks."
