thanks
@Bleaney - just read, it apparently increases the amount of deep sleep you get too. that is a big plus for me, i have a sleep app. i take it with a pinch of salt but there is definitely a correlation between the amount of deep sleep it thinks i've got and how tired i feel. been lucky to get an hour deep sleep a night recently, even when i'm not drinking (as alcohol definitely fucks it).
also, if its not abusable i'd feel less sus asking the GP for it.
i wouldn't wanna take it every night. did 16 years of no natural sleep, don't intend to do that again. just need literally a couple of decent nights sleep back to back so that i can actually do stuff beyond the bare minimum required for my existence.
