Brief Answer:
yes its safe

Detailed Answer:

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Now that you have taken 0.5mg clonazepam, though it should have been avoided, nothing much can be done now. Mostly, it should not be a problem. In most of the cases you may sleep an hour or so extra and nothing more will happen. So you may comfortably go to sleep. You staying awake is not going to help you in any way. So please dont worry and go to sleep.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
