Nine hrs seems to be what my body wants. I used to lay awake in bed for 3-4 hrs before falling asleep. Now thanks to my DHs sleeping pills I can fall asleep in less than an hour. I used to be chronically tired...not so much now...thank you Ambien!

I know, I know...I shouldn't take someone elses prescribed meds. Hey, if MY doc would listen to ME I wouldn't have to.
