Ambien Sleep Aid Review By Janna on Oct 09, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

If you have ever suffered from insomnia then you know how difficult it can be. But thanks to a little pill named Ambien there is relief in sight. I have taken Ambien in the past and it seems to be the best sleep aid out there.

Ambien is a prescription sleep aid. It comes in to sizes 5mg or 10mg. It is advised that you do not take Ambien if you can not devote a full 8 hours to sleep. I usually take Ambien 1 hour before I wants to fall asleep. Because Ambien is a hypnotic you are lulled into sleep. You should be able to stay asleep for the full 8 hours. When you wake in the morning, your are wide awake. There are no "hang over" feelings like you get with over the counter sleep aids.

Ambien should not be taken for more than 7 to 10 days at a time. It is not meant for long term use and can be habit forming. If you are suffering from sleep problems talk to your doctor about Ambien.
