I’ve got to start updating this thing more regularly. What’s the point in having a blog if I don’t use it?
Problem is, I don’t feel like I’ve had a whole lot of thoughts lately. Does that even make sense?
It’s like… Wake, work, come home, eat, sleep.
Six weeks in, and I’m still trying to adjust to my new big-kid schedule. ;)
Stories of Ambien use and abuse
This is some scary stuff. I know first-hand the dangers of Ambien.
The drug’s like a double-edged sword; it works incredibly well for sleeplessness, but it’s also incredibly addictive, and is easily abused. If taken for anything other than insomnia, Ambien can lead to some unfortunate side effects.
I have played with matches and candles under the influence of Ambien, and I have drawn all over myself with Sharpies. Which led to my sheets getting covered in Sharpie. Not good. I’ve also called people, texted people, and tweeted embarassing things, all with little to no recollection of it the next day.
I know someone who is addicted to it, which is so not good. How are you supposed to develop healthy sleeping habits if you need a pill to fall asleep every night?
If I were you, I’d look into alternative sleep aids before jumping on the Ambien bandwagon. If you do take Ambien, It’s best to just take it and go to bed right away.
I’m taking Ambien tonight
… after about a month or so not taking it. Hopefully nothing *too* crazy happens :)
I’d rather not play with matches (or draw all over myself) like the last time.
