Do you feel better with sleep aids or waking up a couple times at night?

We know that sleep medications reduce REM sleep, but is waking up a few times per night actually better than sleeping comfortably with a sleep aid?

Not talking about daily medication use, just occasionally when you still feel awake some nights.

Sleep aids for me tend to linger through the next day

Prefer drugs, alcohol, or sleeping naturally

Take two of these about an hour before bed and sleep like a baby and wake up woke.

I thought when you wake up in the middle of the night it meant a ghost was watching you sleep

Sleep aids (melatonin, Tylenol PM; etc) always leave me groggy the next day. I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather wake up a few times during the night...

I wish... already take ZMA and melatonin. And exercise.

But some nights I just don't get a good night of sleep.

I take melatonin and still wake up about five times a night.

Give me a few Benadryl and I’m good to go.

Stop eating carbs at night, and you’ll sleep through the night

I’ve taken trazadone and it helps however a side effect is waking up hungry. It was weird. And the craziest dreams I have ever had in my life.

Lunesta makes me feel energized the next morning.

If by this you mean getting almost blackout drunk and getting a blowjob then yes.

After a few nights of little or unrestful sleep, a sleeping pill helps a lot. I get rebound insomnia from hell if I use them more than a few days in a row so I have to be in bad shape to even think about taking one.

I have, didn't do a thing. On the other hand, ashwaganda made me horny and sleepy at the same time.
