Yeah, we have been discussing this in a thread above. It depends if you have trouble falling asleep, stay asleep or both. If it's initial insomnia, i.e. trouble falling asleep, then shoot for a hypnotic with a short half-life, like Halcion, Sonata or Ambien. Maybe Ambien is to prefer among these.
If early awakenings are a problem, then there are alot to choose from. I don't have much experience but Imovane(zopiclone) works really well, lets you sleep through the night without hangover. Lunesta should have same profile. All of these are the first-line meds if you exclude the OTCs. Which is why one should try them out first.Good luck.
