insomnia
"I've tried everything from Ambien to low doses of anti-depressants to OTC medications, and none have worked as well as Belsomra.

The sleepiness is overwhelming, but it feels completely natural (think of the kind of sleepiness you'd feel as a child after a long day of playing.) It's not a hypnotic like Ambien, so it doesn't get you high. It just makes you really sleepy.

My doctor told me to take it 15 minutes before bed time. I thought it wasn't working at first because I was expecting a quick reaction. Turns out it takes about 1-2 hours to start feeling the effects. I now take it 1-2 hours before bed time and sleep like a baby.

I've heard you can experience sleep paralysis on this drug. I haven't experienced anything negative yet."
