Insomnia
"Always rolled around in bed since I was a kid trying to stop thinking. Sleep just didn&#039;t come natural unless I really put my body through the ringer that day. Being a kid, on those days I slept.

Drinking in my mid years helped me get to sleep. Then I hit a work-anxiety wall in my 50&#039;s. Ambien, 10 mg, put me to sleep. With the well known side effects - called friends late at night (it doesn&#039;t work on me fast). Ate a lot of crap late. I need a good hour, more like 2 before I feel the effects, probably because I only take 2/3 now, I weigh around 200 pounds. The problem with Ambien is you never know when it&#039;s going to hit you. When it does and you&#039;re still ambulatory, childproof your life."
