Is it bad for your brain to use it while awake?

It doesn't help me sleep much anymore. I took one today, a few hours after i woke up because it felt like I never slept but though I could go back to sleep if i took one.

Hours later-still here. Same as before-too tired to do anything but can't sleep. Now walking around on Ambien. Well not doing much as feel like crap.

I just wonder if it's somehow bad for your brain?

obviously i know it wouldn't be good to drive, use tools, etc
