Sleep Drugs Reduce Quality

While Ambien can help with falling asleep initially, studies suggest it may affect overall sleep quality. Ambien should be used under medical supervision and for short-term treatment of insomnia.

Similar sleep medications include:

• Zolpidem - generic form with similar effects
• Lunesta - alternative sleep medication
• Sonata - short-acting sleep aid

Note: All sleep medications should only be taken under physician guidance and prescription.
