I have been hearing weird stories about Ambien for some time.

I am actually kind of surprised that anyone would take it.

Thanks, I use Melatonin about half the time. It makes me sleepy but I seem to spend about the same amount of the night awake with or without it. Still experimenting with it. REM and Deep sleep both lacking a bit lately.

Three things to do, before you try Big Pharma potions.

Get a dietary checkup, to ensure you are getting all your nutrition.
Exercise hard about 5 hours before you sleep.
Take a hot shower just before bed.
Read something relaxing in your evening hours.

If you have trouble with sleep, try CBD. If you have trouble getting to sleep, try THC. I don’t do THC but I do CBD.

As you recall, 40 Hz gamma entrainment may help to clear the neuro waste, at least in mice, but I would avoid the z-drugs if at all possible even so.

I have never tried Ambien, but it caused horrible nightmares for a friend of mine.

I use a shot or two of bourbon,And it works great for me But it certainly is not for everybody.If I wake up in the middle of the night I take another couple shots. I have no problem with deep REM sleep, I have Vivid dreams every night.

There is no free lunch.

It’s a rule that applies pretty much everywhere.

Heh, I’ve been on Zolpidem/ Ambien for 15yrs, with no problems. Not happy to read this article, but my Heart Disease, Kidney Disease or COPD will probably kill me before dementia sets in. I will pass this on to my primary care provider (PCP) at Wellspan.

Magnesium L-Threonate and calcium are great sleep aids need to take consistently I skip only once a week or so.

In the old days they used Dalmane which has been renamed. That worked.
