Silenor may help you get a full night's sleep and reduce the number of times you wake up during the night. It is not known exactly how Silenor works. It is believed that this drug causes drowsiness by blocking histamine receptors, which play an important role in the sleep-wake cycle.

Silenor is usually taken as a tablet 30 minutes before going to bed. You should not take Silenor within 3 hours of eating a meal.

You should avoid engaging in hazardous activities, such as operating a motor vehicle or heavy machinery at night, after taking this prescription drug.

Seek medical advice if your sleeping habits do not improve within seven to 10 days of starting treatment. This may be an indication of the presence of a primary psychiatric or medical illness that should be evaluated by your healthcare provider.
