Comment:
I work different shifts and Ambien has made it much easier for me to fall asleep and stay asleep when my body dont know when it is time to sleep. And when I have to try to take a nap before going in for a over night shift, it helps me fall asleep quickly.

Comment:
Ambien has done wonders for me. I went 2 years or longer with almost no sleep and now sleep like a dream. A half one normally helps, but I sometimes wake up but a whole one works great.
