I find that I will take my ambient (24 mg) around 7 and it puts me to sleep about 9. Okay what I do between 7-9 I forget what I have done. I;ll write answers on here and then be suprise I did the next day. Is it a side effect of ambient?

Room temperature is good :)

Yes, at first it is, but be careful, you can build a tolerance to Ambien after a while.

yes, before sleep kicks it is known to induce a strange state.

If you mean ambien then yes, it can be one of the side effects. I take ambien occasionally and do not have this problem though but have heard of others who do.

been quite a few news stories about here...like ppl who put on weight cause they raid the fridge unwittingly whilst unaware...find evidence in morning, no recollection.

Yes, its a common side effect. My pdoc told me not to take mine until I was already laying in bed. If my hubby comes home and wakes me up and we have a conversation I often have no recollection.

I had hallucinations on "ambient". Make sure you don't leave the house...

I didn't realize Ambien came in anything but 10mg tablets. I take either 5 or 10mgs. I will occassionaly take a zanac with it if I can't sleep with 10mgs alone. My daughter has had conversations with me that I don't remember.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
