Ambien

Ambien (generic name: zolpidem) is a prescription medication used to treat short-term sleep problems, helping people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It works by calming brain activity to promote sleep. Typically taken before bedtime, it is intended for brief use due to potential side effects like next-day drowsiness or dependence. Ambien is generally safe when used as directed, but should be used under medical supervision, especially for individuals with liver issues or other health conditions. It is not a cure for underlying sleep disorders but can help manage occasional insomnia.
