Jesus, I've only know trazedone as a dog tranquilizer that works half the time.

The original use case was as an antidepressant (for humans). Its usage for dogs and for treating insomnia are both use cases that came later on.

Trazodone was originally a medication for depression, but other antidepressants are more effective these days, and now it's mostly prescribed off-label as a treatment for insomnia. It doesn't work well for everyone, but it works great for me. I don't encounter any side effects, and I can fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Drinking alcohol makes me sleep like a baby, but my wife says it makes me snore,so I guess the trick is to steal someone else's sleep power for yourself

Yeah it's definitely not for everyone, but it works wonders for me. I sleep better (fall asleep quicker + stay asleep longer) and feel more awake in the mornings than I used to.
