Sleep walking and other disturbing sleep behaviors would be the worst side effect of common sleep meds such as ambien. That can be super dangerous.
A person will take it for reasons other than sleep. They may force themselves to stay awake when taking Ambien, for example. A person addicted to sleep meds
Sedation: Several of the meds Seroquel, Ambien, Lamictal, Klonipin cause drowiness. Ambien is a sleeping pill. Why would you take Adderall a stimulant with a sleeping pill.

Ambien, also for sleep. I hated the Klonopin, but the other three meds Like alcohol, sleep medication is a billion dollar business.
