Oh, the places you'll go on Ambien, only you won't remember them. (But at least you get some ... sleep, even if it isn't restful. Kind of.)

I feel your pain and wish you all the luck in the world. I'm lousy at sleeping during designated night-time hours, too, but Ambien makes me drive in my sleep, yell in my sleep and swat things in my sleep. I raid the fridge on Ambien.

If you aren't opposed to or uncomfortable with another sleep med, perhaps talk to your MD about an alternative? Restoril and Lunesta have served me better than Ambien time and again. If you're looking to just stop or worry about running through pills at an alarming rate, maybe there are other ways you can find to relax before bed, like the aforementioned supplements that aren't addictive psycho-actively. Reading and light exercise help me sometimes. Sleep is a struggle.
