me too! i was really against it at first. i just started taking them a few weeks ago. stupidly, i would take 3 or 4 at a time, thinking it would knock me out faster, and it did, but i wouldn't wake up for 14 hrs. heh. in my psych classes we learned that sleeping pills don't provide the same kind of rest that natural sleep does, since you don't go into regular sleep cycles, but for me, it's just a relief to be unconscious. hope that doesn't sound too dire.
