Would 1/2 dose of 5 mg zolpidem be effective for sleep? i can fall asleep but wake after 4 hrs.

Depends: First identify why you do not sleep well. Sleep hygiene is preferable to use of medication for long term treatment of insomnia. Try increasing daily activity, avoid caffeine past 12 noon ,daytime naps and external stimulators.
