Quality sleep is essential for physical health, emotional balance, concentration, and everyday functioning. However, insomnia can make it difficult to fall asleep or remain asleep and may affect a person\'s quality of life. Healthcare professionals may address insomnia through sleep-hygiene measures, behavioral therapies, treatment of underlying conditions, and, in selected circumstances, prescription medication. Restoril, the brand name for temazepam, is a prescription benzodiazepine that may be used for the short-term management of insomnia.
