No, they're not just for short term use. I was on temazepam for over two years, and it provided me restful restorative sleep. I know people who've used clonazepam for over twenty years for the same purpose.
I fear you've closed your mind to an appropriate therapy. Sleep studies have clearly shown that both temazepam and clonazepam restore sleep architecture, which is to say, promote the proper amount of restorative stage 3 and 4 sleep most often missing in subjects who awake feeling unrested. Oxazepam is another alternative, as it is a precursor to temazepam.
