Insomnia.

[Ace]

The last couple years I haven't been able to fall asleep without having my television on. I get plenty of sleep every night, but I don't think its the deep sleep I need. The last couple nights I've tried to sleep without watching television and it takes me too long.

So basically its either less sleep/deep sleep or more sleep/little deep sleep.

Why don't you just take drugs? Isn't it Ambien that knocks you out immediately?

For some reason that never came to mind.

Ambien is a short-term cure for insomnia. It may put you on track.

"Some people using this medicine have engaged in activity such as driving, eating, or making phone calls and later having no memory of the activity."

That could be fun.

"Ambien may cause a severe allergic reaction. Stop taking Ambien and get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat."

Not so much fun.

"Ambien can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions."

I've impaired my thinking too much already.

"Do not drink alcohol while you are taking this medication."

That goes with most drugs right? I've never really taken any drugs for anything, except for being sick. I'm sure they all have many side effects.

Ah, here's all of them:

" worsening sleep problems; depressed mood, thoughts of hurting yourself unusual risk-taking behavior, decreased inhibitions, no fear of danger; aggression, feeling agitated; hallucinations, confusion, loss of personality."

"daytime drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, feeling "drugged" or light-headed; weakness, lack of coordination; amnesia, forgetfulness;vivid or abnormal dreams; diarrhea, nausea, vomiting; headache, muscle pain, blurred vision. "

My ex (not the last guy) took 2 ambien one night. He didn't know what he was taking. He thought it was just a sleeping pill.

Some friends stopped by and as I let them in - my bf started taking his clothes off. He also pushed all his food (we were eating dinner when the friends stopped by) off his plate and onto the floor.

He remembered none of that. Amusing. But if you took the right dosage etc I'm sure your results would be less humiliating.

This is interesting, given that Heath Ledger was taking them. Looks like he may have been using some other stuff too, which probably isn't a good idea.

I wouldn't risk taking ambien.

Sleep driving, eating, and stripping do not sound too fun.
