Since I work rotating shifts, I like to take ambien to sleep during the day. To me it is a godsend, but it is weird stuff. I am always falling asleep with the tv on, food around, etc. Haven't fallen in my food yet! I have had black outs and gray outs, too. I had some computer equipment delivered and have no idea how it got inside...scary...I was surprised to see it when I woke up.

On the plus side, I feel refreshed when I wake up. Right now I am taking a break from it as it loses its effectiveness over time.

Do be careful with it.
