Insomnia
"I&#039;ve been on Lunesta for 5 years.  Horrible to be an insomniac for this long.  Tried Belsomra over the last four days and it&#039;s pretty amazing.  You take it an hour before bedtime and you have to be in a mental state of letting go of your fear of not sleeping, in order for this to work.  It gets me to a drowsy, sleepy mode.  The issue is that I keep waking up throughout the night and am waking up super early so while it&#039;s solid on sleep initiation, I don&#039;t know why I can&#039;t stay asleep.  But having said all of this, I&#039;m pretty impressed with how I feel on only 4-5 hours of sleep.  It seems as though even though I&#039;m waking up periodically, I must be getting higher quality sleep than on the other drugs.  Overall, I&#039;m quite optimistic."
