Does anyone else take sleeping tablets?

I have been on them for a cuople of weeks now & find when i wake in the morning i am still feeling really tired, are they ment to make you feel tired constantly?

Also i have found that i now can not get to sleep without them & am in need of them.

I tried to sleep the other night without them because i felt i was becoming dependant on them to get to sleep at night & i laid there for 2 hrs fighting it thinking i will go to sleep without them but did not manage to & in the end gave in & had one & was alseep within about 20 mins.

hello, if your on zolpiclone, and need them to sleep, consider switching to zoplidem, its like zopiclone but has a shorter half life so less likely for you to feel tired in the morning
