I read your question carefully and I'm sorry about your sleeping troubles.
Zolpidem is a widely used drug for lack of sleep in many countries. I personally prescribe it often to my patients preferring it to other drugs for it's short duration of action (not causing sleep during the day) and lower dependance risk compared to some other drugs.
So I think it is a valid choice.
Feel free to ask further questions about this or any other health issues troubling you.
