What medication were you given?
In Singapore you can't get sleeping pills without prescription. All sleeping pills are controlled drugs which are monitored by MOH. Hence, Doctors can't just give everyone who complained of insomnia sleeping pills. Try other alternatives like listening to relaxing music at bedtime, aromatheraphy or take up a course/exercise that will help you to relax eg. yoga etc.

I am given chlordiazepoxide and/or amitriptyline
Is work stress the likely cause of your insomnia? You can try to manage your time properly so that you can have a good night sleep at home after work.

those should be quite alright. I guess your GP gave you these because they are non addictive.
amitriptyline is actually an anti-depressant. Now psychatrists don't use this for depressed patients anymore. Instead, GP prescribe this to prevent recurrence of migraine.
Let the doc know you are not going to take sleeping pills long time. Only short term to adjust your sleep or for the time being. Then maybe the GP will prescribe you the real sleeping pill. Don't go to polyclinic.
But then, sleeping pills, no doubts can make you sleep, but you won't feel rested. They simply knock you out, but your brain is still active.
just take codine only, i sleep for 24 hours liao...
