Restoril (temazepam) is a benzodiazepine prescribed for short-term insomnia management. It promotes relaxation in the central nervous system, helping patients fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Because it can cause dizziness, drowsiness, or dependence, Restoril should always be taken under a healthcare provider’s supervision, stored securely, and never combined with alcohol, opioids, or other sedative medications.
