In my case, my internist was not sure if I had a problem with my sleep cycle, sleep apnea, or some other disorder. He suggested taking the sleeping pill, saying that it might help to re-establish my cycle if that was the problem, while I probably would feel much more tired the next day if I had sleep apnea. As it turned out, I was much more tired.

A sleep specialist later indicated that sleeping pills do not necessarily aggravate sleep apnea, and that my tiredness may have been due to the drug dosage or the particular drug (a generic equivalent of Ambien, which stays in the system).
