[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always take an Ambien. This allows me to get 5-6 hours of sleep. Note I still wake up to go to the bathroom (the curse of the middle-aged woman). I do this 4-5 times a year for 20+ years and have never developed a blood clot. I think some of the comment here are alarmist-- taking a light sleeping aid isn't going to put you into a coma! [/quote]

I tried that once.  I stupidly took an Ambien for the first time on a long-haul flight.  It turns out that Ambien doesn't knock me out, but makes me zombie-walk like a crazy person.  I got up and dh thought I was going to the bathroom, but apparently I just went and stood in the aisle, far from my seat, and rocking and staring creepily into space.  When the flight attendants tried to speak to me, I put my hands over my face as if I was hiding and refused to look at them or tell them where my seat was.  Dh luckily found me at that point and pulled me back to my seat, where I tried to get up over and over again.  I remember nothing of this.  I will never take Ambien again.

The lesson, kids, is that you should test drive the "light sleeping aid" at home first.[/quote]

DH took it on a flight once, got up to go to the bathroom, and fell asleep. I had to get the flight attendant to unlock the door. We had to transfer planes and he was still totally out of it in the airport. I’ve told him never again. [/quote]

He is lucky he wasn't greeted by police upon arrival. [/quote]

Oh please. Actual criminals are barely greeted by police. The airlines rarely call police on their passengers.[/quote]
