I've been reluctant to take a sleep aid because as it is now, I wake up prior to needing to use the bathroom and so I don't have any nighttime accidents. I don't want to be so deeply asleep that I won't realize the need to awaken and use the bathroom. Sometimes I do have trouble going back to sleep but I'm lucky. I'm retired basically and can take a nap during the day, if needed. Best wishes in finding an answer which works for you.
