Jackie, it was on the news about a week and a half ago about some people (a small percentage) who were taking the Ambien CR, would get up and drive during the night or make phone calls or cook and have no recollection of doing it in the morning.  I told my sons if I ever call them during the night or drive over to their house and cook, they have my permission to slap me awake.  When Patrick Kennedy crashed his car last year, he said he had been taking it and did not remember getting into his car.  One of the school board members here just went to court this past week because he broke into his ex-wife&#39;s house in the middle of the night and starting fighting with her and the man she was with and he claimed that the last thing he remembered was taking the pill and going to bed.   I am pretty sure that I have never done anything that I don&#39;t remember because everything is always the way it was when I went to bed.  I was thinking last night that I should go a few nights without taking it because I certainly don&#39;t want to become dependent on them, but as I have been up 35 1/2 hrs., guess I really do need them to sleep.
