Trouble sleeping
I have trouble sleeping the night before exams. And I'm taking an exam a few days from now. So, I was thinking of try out a MILD sleeping pill...
After doing some research I found that Zaleplon was the best fit, it is mild (lasts only 4hrs) and doesn't have any drowsiness the next day. I want a second opinion.
Is Zaleplon fine? Shall I buy Zalep 10mg?
I also come across Nitrest but I think that is a bit more strong (effect is 8hrs and there can be headaches or drwoziness next day). I don't want anything strong because I don't want to have headaches or memory problems the next day as I'll have exam. Please opine. Thank you!

Hi there,
Please consult about your sleep issues with a Psychiatrist in person. No pharmacy is going to give you the medicines you've mentioned without a prescription. If they do, it's Illegal.
Isolated sleep issues are almost unheard of. Get yourself evaluated for underlying problems like anxiety or depression which might be causing end sleep issues. The psychiatrist will prescribe you the right pill to be taken for the right duration.
Good luck.
