Hi - your question is too simple... what conditions apply, like why do you think you need a sleeping pill? What exactly goes on if you don't? What machine (and mask type) do you have? How many hrs a night do you usually get and are they the same hrs, or are they all over the place? Do you take other meds? How about alcohol or food before bed?

Do you mean take a pill every night? And anything else you can think of to help us advise...

thank you
