Lunesta didn't make me tired next day. In fact, it didn't work through the entire night, only the start. Good at first though. I really hope it works out for you!!

I currently take a less common benzo, estazolam. It seems to provide just the push I need to get to sleep, and not keep waking up. Unfortunately it has a long half-life, so there is some hangover...good reason to keep the dose low.

(As an aside, I do not recommend Halcion/triazolam...that stuff messed me up! I mean, it was fun/funny at the time, but I wouldn't use it normally. )

I think my array of other meds (antidepressant, mood stabilizers, etc.) has really helped stabilize my sleep patterns. I'm just such a militant insomniac that I need that one more thing to seal the deal.
