Or you can just study more and produce more neurons.

  I think you may be confusing synapses and neurons.

  Before downvoting me, please google your shit. Ok, I used the wrong term here, I meant synapses. If you engage regularly in mental stimulating activities, you increase the number of synapses and thus halting or postponing the development of Alzheimer disease. Google for Nun study.

The best way to improve sleep is CBTI, definitely not Ambien. Ambien doesn’t induce sleep. It induces a non waking state.

  Maybe not quite Ambien, but have you ever had propofol sedation?

    Best nap of my life.

  Do you have a cite for that? Ambien makes me slightly more drowsy; it's not like being under general anesthesia.

    "According to the new book Why We Sleep, by Matthew Walker, the director of the Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, the sleep people get on sleeping pills like Ambien is not true sleep. Drugs like these simply “switch off the top of your cortex, the top of your brain,” he explained to New York Magazine, “and put you into a state of unconsciousness.” That’s not sleep; that’s cryogenics. According to Walker, sleeping-pill sleep doesn’t have the same restorative powers—and there are lots, from an immune boost to emotional resilience—as good, old-fashioned zzzzs." https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/10/better-than-ambien/543771/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2017/10/better-th...

      Does that apply to Melatonin pills? It seems like a more "normal" way to get your brain to sleep than Ambien.
      - DoreenMichele 8y ago
        No, melatonin is the actual thing your body produces to go to sleep. However, having used it, if your brain chemistry is sufficiently screwed up, you may find it hard to wake up fully if you don't also take Co q 10 in the morning. That's the coenzyme for melatonin. It wakes you up.
