I alternate between 0.5mg of Klonopin or a small dose of Ambien. Reasoning: the half life is different. only take the Klonopin (~6 hour hlf)if you know you will get a solid 7-8 hours of sleep!!!! Otherwise you will be VERY groggy. I take the Ambien (~4 hour hlf)on nights that I go to bed late and have to get up early. But Ambien can be addictive according to the 'precautions.' I have been using this pattern for several months and it works if I actually go to bed (PTSD/nightmares/depression kind of keep from WANTING to go to bed, but you have to sleep).
Why can't you sleep? Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep?
