Zolpidem is a fast-acting medication, which usually begins to make you feel sleepy within an hour of taking it.
It’s considered to be a short-acting hypnotic, which means that while it may help you fall asleep quicker, it may not necessarily help you to sleep longer as its effects wear off fairly quickly.
Zolpidem decreases how long it takes to fall asleep, improves sleep quality, increases stage N2 and N3 slow-wave sleep and reduces night‐time awakenings.
In healthy adults, a study showed that a 10mg dose of zolpidem:
- reduced the number of awakenings and wake after sleep onset (WASO)
- improved sleep efficiency
- improved most subjective sleep measures relative to placebo.
Side-effects
- Chest pain
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Shortness of breath
