hi hope to guide you in a better way
you didn't mention the dose of temazepam.. anyhow it cause the dizziness, lethargy and hangover the next day if taken in larger doses so you can switch to Clonazepam 0.5 mg at night can increase it's dose on 3rd or 4tg day to 1 mg..but start from o.5 mg..it will be enough for her.
it will hopefully resolve the issue u discussed.
take good care of her.
