Depression can commonly cause sleep disturbance, and zolpidem (Zolpid 10 mg) is a prescription sleeping tablet used only for short‑term insomnia under medical supervision. It should not be taken without a doctor’s advice, especially when depression is present, because it may cause side effects like dependence, next‑day drowsiness, and can worsen underlying mental health issues if used incorrectly. The appropriate step is to consult a doctor or psychiatrist for proper assessment and treatment of both depression and sleep problems. In the meantime, maintaining a fixed sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine in the evening, and limiting screen use before bed may help improve sleep quality.
