Having Problems Sleeping?

Sleep is essential for good health since it allows your body to rest and recover from the demands of daily life. Sleep is vitally important to both our mental and physical states of being. Without sound sleep, every aspect of our lives can suffer.

Individual sleep needs vary, but it is well known that most people generally require 8 hours of quality sleep in order to function their best during the day. While sleep is a natural process, good sleepers typically develop nighttime habits – known as sleep hygiene – that promote sound sleeping. But sometimes, even good sleepers experience problems achieving a good night’s sleep.

Important safety information: Restoril™ is indicated for the short-term treatment of insomnia (generally 7 to 10 days). The failure of insomnia to remit after 7 to 10 days of treatment may indicate the presence of a primary psychiatric and/or medical illness that should be evaluated. Restoril™ is contraindicated in women who are pregnant or may become pregnant because of the potential risk to the fetus. The most common side effects of Restoril™ are drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and difficulty with coordination. Severe allergic reactions have been reported in patients taking sedative-hypnotics, including Restoril™. Complex behaviors such as “sleep driving” have also been reported. Although behaviors such as “sleep driving” may occur with Restoril™ alone at therapeutic doses, the use of alcohol or other CNS depressants with Restoril™ appears to increase the risk of these unusual behaviors, as does the use of Restoril™ doses exceeding the maximum recommended dose. Use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness, such as driving a car, operating machinery, or piloting an aircraft.
