Is There Any Other Medication I Could Take Along With Flurazepam Pill To Help Sleeping Longer?

I take this medication, Flurazepam to help me sleep. I have had insomnia for years and average aprox..15 to 20 hours of sleep a week. I do think these pills are helping, but is there any other medication I could take along with my present pill to help with sleeping longer? Even with talking Flurazepam. I get so tired, but can can go for days with out sleep. Some friends tell me to start drinking a mixed drink or drink a few beers along with the meds. I do not drink, and can t stand the smell anyway. This is a not a good idea at all with me. What is your advise??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If you keep your anxiety and depression level very high then non of the sleeping pills will bring the sleep, again you have to stop the alcohol prior to sleep, if you keep your stress level very low then the simple "Alprazolam" would work nicely, the main thing is your anxiety and depression, try to have hot milk every night before going to bed stop worrying, have good night.
