I love it for that but what I don't like is it only keeps me asleep for 6-7 hours. And, if I don't get enough sleep, I'll wake up with a headache.
I hate it. It's so hard for me to sleep but my husband can sleep anywhere anytime.
See, Ambien gives me a major buzz. My mom was prescribed them for sleep apnea or something or other and she never took them, so I did. The first couple times I took them just like you said, just before I went to bed and didn't even have time to feel the effects before I passed out.

But, the first time I ever got messed up off of them, it was an accident. I took one right before I meant to go lay down, but I got so caught up with editting pictures on my computer, I completely forgot I had even taken one. About 40 minutes goes by, and I start feeling drunk as hell, with a bit of a warm feeling like a really good cannabis buzz.

2 for me is like putting a 1/5 of vodka in me and smoking a quarter without any of the nasty synergistic side effects.
