Funny Ambien reaction while on vacation...
Category Everything Else
I forgot to mention this in previous vacation blog postings...
We left for DisneyWorld Saturday, September 2nd at 11:55 pm. Being that we were taking a red-eye from Portland to Dallas (and then to Orlando from there), I thought I'd use an Ambien to help me sleep on the plane. Normally, I head straight to bed when I take one, read for 30 minutes or so, and then turn out the light and go to sleep. Nothing dramatic... just an "I'm tired now" feeling...
So, we were to board at 11:25 pm, and I figured that taking an Ambien at 11:10 would give me more than enough time to board, get seated, and drift off after take-off... At least that was the plan...
Here's what I remember... :)
Around 11:20, I'm standing in the waiting area, eyes closed, swaying back and forth. Sue said I appeared drunk (and no alcohol was involved here... honest). I'm told that she asked me where we were sitting (10A and 10B) and I said we were in 10A and 18B. I'm told I was having a difficult time figuring out the seat belt concept (I sorta remember that one). I'm told I was having a horrible time with the inflatable neck pillow and my hat (don't ask... I don't even know how it got inflated). But I do remember waking up about an hour outside from Dallas... :)
Ian's observation that "Ambien makes you goofy" is starting to look more plausible now... :)
