Halcion is an extremly potent, quick acting benzo with a very short half-life. I was just given a prescription yesterday because I had not slept in two nights. It is not a long-term treatment for insomina...you shouldn't take it for more than 7-10 days. If you are having a real hard sleeping on a particular night, you can take .125 or .25 mg...maybe even for two nights in a row. But beyond that, I would talk to my Dr. Another problem with continuous use is that you can get what is called "Rebound Insomina"...insomina from coming off Halcion (or any of the benzos used for sleep.)
Let me know if you have additional questions. I have taken it for two nights and have slept great.
I will try without tonight and see what happens.
