Insomnia
"I&#039;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&#039;d feel as a child after a long day of playing.) It&#039;s not a hypnotic like Ambien, so it doesn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;ve heard you can experience sleep paralysis on this drug. I haven&#039;t experienced anything negative yet."
