Decision Resources, a research and advisory firm focusing on pharmaceutical and health care issues, finds that a drug's effect on latency to sleep onset is the attribute that most influences the prescribing decisions of surveyed primary care physicians (PCPs) in the treatment of insomnia.
I prescribe Ambien, which is good for helping a person fall asleep, much more than Ambien CR, which is better for sleep maintenance. Ambien is also now generic and much cheaper than Ambien CR.
