Sleeping pill: One of the most prescribed meds to help insomnia, and available as 10mg and cr 12.5mg, the latter resulting in more prolonged nitetime sleep.. Does develop tolerance, and may promote sleep walking. Seems to preserve dreams, which some other meds may obliterate.

Ambien (zolpidem): Ambien (zolpidem) is a hypnotic medication used to induce sleep in people with insomnia. It can be habit-forming, and tolerance can develop. In some people, it has also been known to cause incidents of sleepwalking, including binging on food or or even driving while asleep. If a person has been using it regularly for 3-4 weeks, it should be tapered rather than stopped suddenly.
