insomnia
"I've tried every new "miracle sleeping aid" that's hit the market over the past 45 years. Nothing works as consistently or as well as Seconal.  Taken at therapeutic levels it eases you into sleep within about 20-30 minutes after taking it.  Most people sleep for 7 to 8 hours and wake refreshed and do not experience a drug hang over.  It's vital to avoid any alcohol use with this drug.  Alcohol potentiates the drug and can cause CNS suppression and even death in large enough dose. Of course this is true for most sleeping aid type medication.  Some people use this drug for long periods of time and develop  dependency on it. This can be avoided by not using it more than one or two days in a row.  Seconal works when others do not."
