What is AMBIEN?
AMBIEN is a short-term (7- to 10-day) prescription sleep aid for people who have difficulty falling asleep, have trouble remaining asleep, or awaken too early in the morning. AMBIEN helps restore your quality of sleep. It was introduced in Europe in 1988, and in the United States five years later. To date, more than 4 billion doses of AMBIEN have been prescribed worldwide.

Does AMBIEN work?
AMBIEN helps people suffering from insomnia fall asleep within 15 to 30 minutes. AMBIEN should only be taken when you are ready to go to sleep. Further, AMBIEN helps you stay asleep and not wake up too early. Avoid taking AMBIEN unless you are prepared to devote a full 7 to 8 hours to sleeping.

What are the most common side effects?
Most commonly, with short-term AMBIEN treatment in controlled clinical studies, the side effects have been daytime drowsiness in 2%, dizziness 1%, and diarrhea 1%. Avoid driving an automobile or operating heavy machinery upon awakening after taking any sleep medication until you know how it will affect your physical or mental performance. Do not drink alcohol while taking AMBIEN.

What is Lunesta?
LunestaTM (eszopiclone) is a prescription sleep aid that can give you and your restless mind the sleep you need. So you can finally enjoy a restful night and a fresh start.

You can feel good about taking Lunesta.
Lunesta is designed to give you a restful night's sleep. It not only helps most people fall asleep quickly, it helps you stay asleep all night long with fewer interruptions and wake up refreshed.

So from the time your head hits the pillow until the second your alarm clock sounds, you're getting the peaceful sleep you need.

LUNESTA is used to treat different types of sleep problems, such as difficulty in falling asleep, difficulty in maintaining sleep during the night, and waking up too early in the morning. Most people with insomnia have more than one of these problems. You should take LUNESTA immediately before going to bed because of the risk of falling.

Will I feel drowsy the next day?
Generally, you won't have to sacrifice next-day performance for a good night's sleep with AMBIEN. A study of about 500 volunteers with insomnia who were given alertness tests the morning after taking AMBIEN found that they performed just as well as people who were given a placebo. In short-term clinical trials, only 2% of people taking AMBIEN reported feeling sleepy during the daytime. Taking AMBIEN as directed will minimize the risk of next-day drowsiness. Regarding elderly patients, one study reported a small but statistically significant decrease in performance in a test of dexterity when compared with a placebo.

Americans turning to pills to catch more Zzz's
If you have trouble sleeping at night, you're not alone.

A record number of Americans are now taking sleeping pills to get a good night's sleep.

But experts are worried that the pills may lead to serious side effects in the long run.

According to a recent healthcare study, the use of sleeping pills has increased 60% since the year 2000.

Forty-two million sleeping pill prescriptions were filled last year alone.

The increase comes down to Americans' restless schedules.

"Particularly people who are anxious or depressed have problems but then a whole different group of people have problems because they don't have a time where they turn off," says Dr. Richard Driscoll, a clinical psychologist with West Side Psychology.

Now, those people are turning to sleeping pills such as Ambien or Lunesta, newer sleep aids that are safer to use than pills of the past.

"A generation ago, people took barbiturates which had very severe and bad side effects," says Dr. Driscoll.

Some experts worry the drugs are being over prescribed without knowing the effects of long term use.

Others fear depression could be the reason for sleeplessness.

Dr. Driscoll says that's why it's important to visit a doctor when dealing with insomnia rather than trying to medicate the problem on your own.

You can increase your changes of falling asleep faster by allowing more quiet time before going to sleep.

Also, give yourself at least 20 minutes to fall asleep. That's the average time it takes for you to doze off.
