Psychiatrists in general seem to be more willing to prescribe sleep meds than do general practitioners. I can tell that my own GP takes a dim view of Ambien, which is a pretty darned innocuous sleep med IMO, but most of the psychiatrists I've seen think nothing of prescribing it, probably because it is less problematic than the benzos that many of them also prescribe for sleep and anxiety disorders.
