CASE STUDY

Ms. S., Stratford, Ont.

Ms. S. is a 56 year old retired registered nurse. She complained of a 15 year history of sleep difficulty with problems falling asleep and remaining asleep. Ms. S. attributed her problem partly to years of shift work and various stressful life events. She had tried prescription sleep medications without success.

Prior to taking Zenbev, Ms. S. would awaken 2-3 times per night and then be up for one hour on average per each awakening, sometimes losing up to four hours of sleep a night. Within the first week of taking Zenbev her time awake at night due to sleep interruptions reduced to 20 minutes. Ms. S’s difficulty falling asleep improved as she feared going to bed less and less. She continues to take Zenbev regularly to maintain these improvements.
