In sleep laboratory studies, temazepam significantly decreased the number of nightly awakenings,^[16] but has the drawback of distorting the normal sleep pattern.^[17] It is officially indicated for severe insomnia and other severe or disabling sleep disorders. The prescribing guidelines in the UK limit the prescribing of hypnotics to two to four weeks due to concerns of tolerance and dependence.^[18]

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine‘s 2017 clinical practice guidelines recommended the use of temazepam in the treatment of sleep-onset and sleep-maintenance insomnia.
