It's simple: a good night's sleep is essential for your physical and emotional health.

The benefit of falling asleep fast.
Because AMBIEN CR's first layer is specially formulated to dissolve quickly, it provides the benefit of helping you get to sleep quickly — within 15 to 30 minutes. The pill works rapidly, so it is recommended that you only take it when you are ready to go to bed.

The benefit of staying asleep.
Because AMBIEN CR's controlled-release second layer dissolves slowly, it helps you stay asleep.* AMBIEN CR is the only sleep aid with a controlled-release formulation.

The benefit of waking less often.
In clinical trials, adult patients experienced significantly fewer awakenings, compared with a placebo. That means with
AMBIEN CR you wake less, and sleep more.

The benefit of a non-narcotic formula.
AMBIEN CR is non-narcotic. Studies show that, when taken as prescribed, AMBIEN CR safely and effectively treats insomnia with no evidence of tolerance or dose escalation. However, like most sleep medicines, it has some risk of dependency.

The benefit of being able to use AMBIEN CR for the long term.
AMBIEN CR is approved by the FDA to be taken for as long as your healthcare provider recommends.

The benefit of being able to concentrate better the next day.
AMBIEN CR can help you get the sleep you need without feeling sleepy the next morning. The sooner you talk to your doctor about sleeping better, the sooner you can address your insomnia problem...and that could make every day of your life better.

*Proven effective for up to 7 hours in clinical studies.
