The past few nights I have had some trouble getting to sleep early. I am up until like 2 or 3 and have to get up around 6 with the baby. Everyone knows how well I function when I haven't slept. So I decided to take an Ambien last night. I know that this is a sleeping pill and all but I wasn't prepared for how strong this little pill really is. Now I know why they give it to the guys when they are flying to and from deployments. This shit puts you in a coma and quick. I think that they give them 2 or 3 pills to last them the whole flight and I believe that it does its job.
I took this pill around 9:30 with the hope at about 11 going to bed. Well the last thing that I remember was waking up at 5 still sitting up with my laptop still in my lap and my hands still on the keyboard like I was typing something. The only thing that changed was that some how the power cord got knocked out and the battery on the laptop gave out.
This shit put me in a coma, someone could have fired off flares right next to me and I wouldn't have known what was going on. I think that they should change the warning label from "MAY cause drowsiness or dizziness" to "Don't make any fucking plans" or better yet..."expect to wake up and not know where you are"... after all it is a sleeping pill what good would it be if it MAY cause drowsiness....
