Actually Peddidle,
I have had this same problem. I have been taking ambien for a couple of years no and it helps but still, there is no reason for me to take it till I am ready to sleep because I will override it. I am a night owl and no matter how bad my day has been I can count on the last hours of my day being the best. Without fail this is true.It is 10:30 right now and I wrote my original post this afternoon. I feel fine right now. I was in the absolute dumps earlier today.
Too bad I come alive just as the rest of the world is ready to call it a night. This has been an huge issue for many, many years and I have yet found the answer for it.
Thanks!
Kaye
