Ambien is has SUCH a SHORT half-life, that by itself, IMHO, it does NOT provide a "full night's sleep" as advertised. It DOES get you to sleep, but you will wake up in 3-4 hours. Many, like me, will then do the wake-sleep deal the rest of the night.
The general conclusion has been that Ambien needs to be combined with a fairly long half-life benzo to really help you get to sleep, and STAY asleep.
