I have always had problems sleeping but have been taking Ambien CR for the past 3 years. The CR is controlled released and helps you to stay asleep longer. When I first started taking it, it would knock me out immediately, now it takes a little longer but not too long if I lay down. I'm not worried about being dependant on it, which I am...I guess with all I've been through, that's the least of my problems...sherryg683
