Oh, yeah, Ambien is famous for causing sleep-walking, eating, driving and other things. The last thing I heard is that they believe what is happening is, normally, when you sleep, your muscles freeze, so you can't act out your dreams. With Ambien, something happens so that your muscles don't freeze, and you do act out your dreams or you get up and do stuff.

I read about one man who dreamt he'd gone fishing and was gutting a fish. In real life, he was trying to gut his wife--thankfully, he didn't have a knife!

Some of the results can sound amusing, but there's a lot of dangerous potential.
