>The sleep meds are fine. Ambien for example. Directions say to take it at bedtime but I think an hour or two before bed is better for two reasons. To help get sleepy and enjoy that feeling.
I sometimes had hypnogogic hallucinations when I did that. They usually involved little elves, and sometimes 'sweating' walls. It's frightening about the amnesia thing because I once took a whole packet in one night. I guess I'd been going back and taking another dose every time it wore off, forgetting I'd already taken it. Thank goodness Ambien is very low in toxicity!
I agree it is a fairly good med when it doesn't cause those side effects though.
