The average half-life of trazodone is 10-12 hours. It's not something that's good for acute insomnia, as I've said, several times. Do you not understand the condition we're talking about? Perhaps Google it or something?

So, what are the "much milder and more commonly used ones", when Ambien and other benzo-derivatives and benzos themselves are factually very commonly used medications for acute insomnia.

They are not factually very commonly used for acute insomnia. You are starting from a place of fiction.

Yes, they are. Ambien is common as fuck and so are other benzo family medications,

The recommended sequence of medication trials is:

Short- or intermediate-acting benzodiazepine receptor agonists (BzRAs)

You're still avoiding naming the “much milder and more commonly used ones”, when Ambien and other benzo-derivatives and benzos themselves are factually very commonly used medications for acute insomnia.
