Millions of Americans suffer from sleep difficulties, and Ambien is becoming a common prescription for people who have sleeplessness. It is frequently viewed as a temporary fix, especially for people whose inability to sleep is interfering with their day-to-day activities. But because Ambien can be abused and cause major adverse effects like tiredness and dizziness, or even complicated sleep behaviors like driving or eating while not fully awake, it is advised to only use Ambien for short periods of time.
