Temazepam
medication Under reviewA benzodiazepine medication used for the short-term treatment of severe or debilitating insomnia.
Research summary
Scientific evidence from randomized controlled trials and polysomnography studies in healthy humans demonstrates that temazepam effectively reduces sleep latency and increases total sleep time, as measured both objectively and subjectively. Comparisons with other hypnotics like zolpidem show temazepam suppresses slow-wave sleep activity, distinguishing its EEG profile. Individual variability exists, with N-of-1 trials indicating benefits in some frequent users but not others, supporting personalized assessment for efficacy. Overall consensus supports temazepam as a short-term sleep aid with moderate evidence for improving sleep parameters in healthy adults, though long-term use is discouraged due to potential adverse effects observed in surveillance data.
