My mom had this problem with Ambien. She also drove while sleeping, did her household chores while sleeping, would call people in this freakish drunk-like state (again, not awake, and often suicidal), and would fall and hurt herself pretty badly - she looked like a domestic violence case a few times. All from Ambien.

I would never touch that stuff with a 100-foot pole. Or any other hypnotics, for that matter. I'm too terrified the same kind of things could happen to me.
