It's still the most commonly prescribed sleep aid, so I don't think they try it in the hospital with everyone, and the side effects like sleepwalking are pretty rare. But there have been some reported cases of sleep driving while on Ambien.
 
I got a referral to see a sleep specialist, I hope it won't take too long to get an appointment. I do want to know what the root cause of my sleep problem is, but it's likely something neurological. Most people have a 24 hour sleep-wake cycle, which aligns with the length of the day, but mine seems to be around 25 hours, so I consequently fall asleep about an hour later every night. It's pretty depressing, it has caused a lot of problems.
 
Good morning folks :frow

James, I'm hoping for a quick resolution:fl Insomnia well just sucks. :th
I'll probably go to sleep soon, LOL. I woke up around 5 PM yesterday.

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember, but it seems to have gotten worse in the last 4-5 years. It's interesting, my sleep-wake cycle is usually isochronous, but due to it being "out of sync" with the natural day/night cycle by about an hour, it results in my sleep pattern going entirely around the clock, usually multiple times per month. Once I fall asleep, I sleep very soundly, and I'll sleep through multiple alarms.

The issue with falling asleep around the clock usually occurs in people who are totally blind, but I'm not blind, so that is why I think it's likely something neurological.
 
James, hope the sleep specialist will have answers and aid for you. :hugs
Thanks, I hope so, too. I tried some natural sleep aid with melatonin, and it kind of worked, but it's still not something that could keep me on a 24 hour sleep-wake cycle. If I can't find something that works, I don't think I'll never be able to succeed at anything that has regular hours.
 
Right right, turn off the lights,
We gonna lose our minds tonight,
What's the dealio?
I love when it's all too much,
Five a.m. turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?
Party crasher,
Drama causer.
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Slam slam, oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand,
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
Can't stop, comin' in hot,
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now.
So if you're too school for cool,
And you're treated like a fool,
(Treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always,
Party on our own
