The drug refers to hypnotics. It is prescribed only by a doctor and you can not buy it without a prescription. Ambien is prescribed for sleep disorders, namely, with difficulty falling asleep, early or nocturnal awakenings. For me, the daily dose was 10 mg at bedtime. The effect of the drug https://www.moderndaydental.com/procedures/oral-maxillofacial-surgery/ambien-generic/ was amazing. It was worth taking before going to bed, as after 10-15 minutes you fall asleep and do not wake up all night. In the morning there is no drowsiness, cheerful mood.

Good sleep is important for good health. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 65% of Americans report that they do not get enough sleep (most adults need six to eight hours). Sleep disorders are not just annoyances; they are serious health problems because they cause the oxygen content of the blood to drop to dangerously low levels, depriving the body and vital organs of oxygen. These negative effects can lead to poor job productivity and are contributing factors in motor vehicle accidents, weight gain, heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, colds and flu, just to name a few. Sleep disorders can also strain emotions, family and job relationships, social encounters, and lead to greater health problems if left untreated. Those with sleep problems may think or move more slowly, make more mistakes or have memory difficulties.
