What are your sleep issues?

Many people suffer from a condition known as insomnia. In any given year, as many as 4 of every 10 adults have symptoms of insomnia.1

Insomnia may occur without any additional symptoms, or it may be associated with other disorders, such as anxiety,2 depression,2,3 obesity,4 and diabetes.4,5

Insomnia can affect you in different ways. Some of the most common sleep complaints are6,7:

  • Difficulty staying asleep
  • Early-morning awakenings (waking up too early in the morning without being able to return to sleep)
  • Difficulty falling asleep

If you suffer from one or more of these common sleep complaints for at least three weeks and you feel it affects your daytime functioning, you may not be getting the sleep you need.

If you think you have insomnia, you're not alone. The first step is to talk to your healthcare provider about your sleep problems. Depending on your diagnosis, your healthcare provider may prescribe Silenor, which may put you on a path to more sleep.

Silenor is indicated to treat patients diagnosed with sleep maintenance insomnia. Silenor is not approved to treat any other condition.

Ask for Silenor by name. There is no generic Silenor.
