"i too have had embarrassing experiences on ambien.  while it helps me sleep, i often make phone calls or send nasty evil emails or texts in the middle of the night (3 or 4am) when i was sure i was asleep.  i woke up one morning with my hand bandaged.  startled. i unwrapped my hand and noticed i had chopped off the end of my finger!  luckily i had the wits about me (i guess) to nurse my wound.  i walked into the kitchen and realize i was cooking a ten course meal in the middle of the night.  one time i woke up at 5 in the morning to find myself flat on my back on the concrete deck behind my neighbor&#039;s house.  i did have my underwear on but it was october in minnesota and it was a 40 degree night!  i felt great though!  don&#039;t taunt ambien!"
