I was 100% honest with my doctor and have never had a problem. In fact, they'd much prefer your need for a pill like this is occasionally and not indicative of an underlying sleep disorder. It limits the amount of investigation they need to do into the complaint and it reduces the risk for habitual use (and dependence).
