If you are taking the xanax .25 about 30 minutes or so before you are in bed, had the Tv off and computer closed, etc. before that 30 minutes, no eating after dinner, no alcohol, the xanax may help you to relax and sleep. That is a rather low dose of xanax; some people take a 1mg at night to help sleep by easing anxiety. Not certain way you are afraid to take the xanax (alprazolam is less expensive generic form.) Hope it helps you to sleep; maybe contact your doctor if you have a concern about taking it that you haven't expressed.Ok?

.25 is a very low dose and when taken as prescribed Xanax can help you to fall asleep and have a restful night. I know that it may be difficult but try not to worry. It really isn’t as bad as you think and sleeping well goes a long way in your over all health.
