Reply #25: I took Ambien for a little while because of a circadian rhythm disorder I have

[EvolveOrConvolve]

Apparently I got an extra couple of hours of work done every night, although I don't remember doing any of it. Reading over some of the emails I sent during those times, I was incredibly lucid despite the fact that I was barely conscious. And some of my analysis work on projects was better than the work I put in during normal waking hours.

I went off it because it was only a matter of time before I started doing other "normal" daytime activities in the middle of the night. Things like driving a car, baking a cake, smoking a cigar, etc.
