Now that ambien does absolutely nothing other than lead me to short-term memory loss and partial-next-day-mental-retardation, I rely on it almost excusively for sleep. Shit works but it makes me tired the day after too. But I'd rather sleep than not so until I find something better, I'm sticking with it.
Man I miss the days where I'd pop 1 ambien and be asleep for the whole night--through tren sweats--and be solid the next day. Now I can literally take 15 (yes, I've done it) and I won't go to sleep any faster.
