Thank you all for the input. I love this place.
I used to take Ambien about 3 times a week when I was working. I never had any trouble falling asleep, but I would often wake up at 2 or 3 AM and be wide awake. When I had to work the next day I HAD to get some rest, so I would take half an Ambien. After I retired, if I woke up I didn't care, I knew I would eventually go back to sleep and if I slept 'til 9:00 - no problem. But today was the closing on the new house and I still had to finish lining up the purchase cash. (Long story and a VERY stressful mess) so I
had to get some sleep and be at the bank at 9:00.
Like I said 3-4 times a week. I filled the prescription in August and still have 10 1/2 pills left. I have never before taken an whole pill in on night, and I'll sure as hell never do it again.
