"my insomnia comes from anxiety issues when i try to sleep. i found that ambien didn&#039;t make me sleepy but it did relax me enough to fall asleep. there are tons of stories floating around about strange behavior and i have my share. i found this only happens when i try to do things between ingestion and onset. only take it when you are already in bed, relaxing, and attempting to fall alseep, and you shouldn&#039;t have any problems."
