Zopiclone 3.75mg or diazepam 4mg in night for sleep maintenance insomnia
16+ years of insomnia, usually no issues falling asleep (as long as plugged into noise cancelling headphones and with a sleep meditation), but always wake up between 2-4am. Past few years, I just take either a zopiclone 3.75mg or diazepam 4mg and go back to 'sleep'.
Thing is take it in middle of night and have to be up at 6:30am, so sometimes take it only 2.5 hours before get up.
Always feel tired, but then am also fked if I don't take it, as for me is worse to only have 4 hours sleep, than 6.5 hours drugged sleep.
Is this really bad for me? Longing to know if I am just alone doing this. Have a highly stressful business I run and had a lot of grief and shock in past few years to deal with.....
[and before all the advice around sleep hygine, supplements etc, I do all of this too!!] So just looking specifically on my middle of the night self medication.
