Brief Answer:
you can have deep sleep of approximately 6-8 hours

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking in HCM.
First of all I want to make you clear that Alprax is an anti-anxiety drug and should not be taken for sleep. It induces sleep and increase the duration of deep sleep up to 6-8 hours. After long term use it causes dependence as well as tolerance and when you will stop taking, it will induce withdrawal by causing insomnia and poor quality sleep. So better to avoid it for long term use.
If you are taking 2 mg Alprax, it will induce deep sleep for approximately 6-8 hours but quality of deep sleep will not be good enough. Better to Consult your physician to review your medicines.

Thank you.
