Answer 1

I didn't like Ambien because all it would to is make me "dopey" (for lack of a better word).

But, I'm larger than the average person (6'7'') and they gave me the same dose as the would have given for, say, a 5'2'' lady at 115 lbs.

For the most part, though, whenever it did finally put me to sleep, I'd almost always wake up at 7 am. But I wasn't super-groggy either. I'd always get my maximum amount of sleep (because the 8-hour recommended sleep is a crock).

I wish you luck on your sleep aid. Not everyone is affected the same way, but I could give you a little bit of advice: Don't drive within 10 minutes of waking up after taking it the night previous. I was actually struggling against the medicine, but it was an emergeny, and no one else was around.
