PLEASE REMEMBER to scroll down to THE ADDITIONAL RESEARCH STUDY, you will find that many people have sleptdriven, sleptwalked, ate in their sleep, cleaned in their sleep, and even cooked in their sleep. Many have even been arrested in those ambien states. From what I read, after the ambien has made it into your system and you didn't fall asleep, you are basically drugged. The ambien is powerful enough to put you in a coma like state while you are awake and doing normal things. Check with your doctor to see if you can get a lower dosage.
