Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query thouroughly.
You have been prescribed restyl 0.5mg for your sleep problem.
I would suggest you to take tablet zolpidem 5mg preferably over restyl. This drug has lower risk of dependence.
Other than this, you can practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Also, avoid day time naps, dont consume tea or coffee or alcohol at bed time. Dont listen to heavy music at bed time and avoid heavy exercises in night.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
