Being exhausted does not make you want to be good at life. So sometimes I take Ambien to turn off and go to sleep. If my mind races for more than 45 minutes at bedtime, I give up and give in to the meds. I usually fall asleep pretty quickly (or so I thought). When I first got the prescription, I began to think my apartment was haunted. There would be stuff in weird places, like the remote in the refrigerator or my peanut butter in the dryer (unopened, thankfully). Also, I would get emails that at first made me think my accounts had been hacked. "What the-who the hell cancelled my 3G account upon my request?!?). But when I thought really, really hard, I vaguely remembered doing these things. I decided that half a tablet was too much for me, and went down to a third (basically the equivalent of licking an ambien for most people). Now if I am doing something that is interesting enough to keep me awake after it kicks in, I have amazing ideas. I know they are amazing because I start texting them to everyone, and other people who take Ambien agree that they are earth shattering. Life altering, even. Example: A bar that is also a library and only plays History channel and has trivia every night. Maybe I'm a nerd, but I would go there all the time (even if I wasn't going to be the eventual owner). Sometimes you want to pretend you are social, and this is the perfect way to fake that while doing what you really want to be doing. "No, I didn't stay in and read a book Friday night! I went to a BAR! Who do you think I am, some kind of LOSER??". Hell, I don't know, maybe even put some pinterest up on a projector screen and people can vote on what to pin and turn it into a group drinking game. I'm not on Ambien right now so I'll have to contemplate that later. This entire post came up because one of my techs told me to google "ambien walrus". I'll save you a step:
