Sigh . . . . there is so much misinformation from your doctor in here, one hardly knows where to begin.
Being tired the next day after taking a sleeping pill can be as much from sleeping pill hangover as anything else and is not definitive of anything. There are so many medications used to induce sleep and each person reacts differently to them.
I thought of your sleep cycle as well. I think that's partly a function of circadian rhythms or biorhythms and I think it would take much more than a series of sleeping pills to change that. Again, read Dr. Dement's "The Promise of Sleep."
