Non-treating insomnia sufferer now taking Ambien CR

"I've always been a go-getter. When it comes to my career, I like to give 100%. But when my sleep problems started to affect me in the office, I felt powerless. Nothing seemed to help and I've never really been one for taking sleeping pills. Sleep is supposed to be natural, right? Well, I finally caved in and talked to my doctor. He soon made me realize that when sleep can't happen naturally, there's no point in suffering. Now I take AMBIEN CR when I need to. I sleep much better. I can concentrate better. And at work I'm back to my 100% and can concentrate on the day ahead."

-Alice, 35*

Tired of Being Tired?

Insomnia is a nighttime sleeping problem that may cause daytime problems, such as:
  • Impaired work performance
  • Increased risk of injuries
  • Irritability and difficulty getting along with others
Insomnia is a health issue, but the good news is it can be overcome. Since sleep problems may be a symptom of an underlying illness, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider.

If you think insomnia is affecting your day, discuss your sleep patterns with your doctor to see if a prescription sleep aid like AMBIEN CR is the right treatment for you.

Getting a good night's sleep is just as important as eating right and exercising. If you're not treating your sleep problem, or you've been unsuccessful treating it, know that 3.5 million people have talked to their healthcare providers about their trouble sleeping, and are taking non-narcotic AMBIEN CR. AMBIEN CR is safe and effective for treating insomnia, with some risk of dependency, when used as directed.


Unlike other prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids, AMBIEN CR is the only 2-layer sleep aid with a controlled-release formula. Its two layers help you fall asleep and stay asleep, so you wake up less frequently and fall back to sleep faster.** AMBIEN CR can also be taken as long as your doctor recommends, and may work effectively the first night of use. Having a discussion with your doctor is the first way to learn if AMBIEN CR is right for you.



**Proven effective for up to 7 hours in clinical studies
