There is little evidence supporting the long-term use of prescription medications in insomnia. However, persons receiving benzodiazepines reported more daytime sleepiness and dizziness than those given a placebo in one research study. Zolpidem and zaleplon may have somewhat fewer side effects, but there is still little evidence for long-term use.
