I love my sleep, and require a lot. My daily routine wears me out. I require 7-9 hrs a night and I get it. Only a few times in my life, have I sought help for insomnia. And something was terrible wrong with me those times.
Once I stayed up for about week in my twenties when my father passed. I planned his whole funeral, hand wrote every single thank-you note. I ended up at the doctors with exhaustion and nervous breakdown but not hospitalized. In my thirties before I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (graves disease) I stayed up for 3 days with my heart beating over 150 beats a minute that had me pacing with panic. And then again once in my forties with a death, where I planned the whole funeral and I was up for 3 days. Each time I was given a low dose of something temporarily, like Ativan that would just take the edge off but not fuck me upI have been taking Ambien for intractable insomnia for over 10 years. I have never seen war, nor anything like it. The most vulgar effect of Ambien is a hangover like effect that lasts for a few days until you go off it cold turkey.
Yet the mainstream press is HOWLING about Ambien being a murderous drug that CAUSES suicidal tendencies? Stay awake for about 3 days and tell me how YOU feel!
I can't sleep. They thought it was major depression, but upon further investigation, it was lack of sleep. LACK OF SLEEP. 4 full hours in 3 days. And what helped me get to sleep?
Ambien.
Quit treating major depression with Ambien. Ambien works when it is used when it is used as prescribed.
I've never ingested Ambien, or felt the need to.

I've never taken Ambien to deal with it. Took alergy meds for a while to help it. I sometimes use unisom. I've found that changing my diet helps. No sugar. No caffeine. Getting plenty of cardio in helps.
Marijuana helps too. Especially indicas with higher CBD content.
And meditation helps too.
Sometimes I'll even listen to talk radio to go to sleep. See if you can find some podcast by their weirdest talk radio outfit you can find. The abducted by aliens type of podcasts make for great sleeping material. And if you smoked pot, you'll end up having really cool trippy fucking dreams.
When I smoke pot, I don't have dreams.
my ex has struggled his whole adult life. I remember being married to him, he would sleep walk and eat in the middle of the night. And I am surprised he didn't burn us alive, smoking in bed and falling back asleep. He would have no recollections of drinking a half gallon of milk 
Ambien has been a life saver for him too. I think he takes something else too. One to fall asleep and the other to keep him asleep. hey, you do what you got to do when you can't sleep
As well as why mass shootings have become the rage. Seems to be a lot of troubled people in this debt besotted land of ours. I wonder why?

we the peaceful ones. I don't understand people losing their minds over material things. I can always make more money
