Sonata® is a hypnotic drug. It primarily works to help decrease the time it takes to get to sleep. It has not
been shown to increase sleep time, or to decrease the number of awakenings.
Overall, Sonata® is not extremely effective, but may help you to fall asleep more quickly. If your problem is
mainly falling asleep, Sonata® may help. It should only be used short-term (for no more than a few days),
has a laundry list of potential side-effects, and is fairly expensive for what you get. As a result of these
issues, Sonata® is our lowest rated sleep aid at just 2.0 stars.
