Ambien, also known as Zolpidem tartrate, is a widely used sleeping aid that has been prescribed to millions of insomniacs internationally. However, few are aware of the remarkable phenomenon it can cause in certain types of damaged neurons – a phenomenon called ‘the Ambien effect’. This effect was first observed back in 1999 when an individual who had been suffering from a persistent vegetative state for three years regained consciousness upon taking a 10mg tablet of Ambien. Since then, more than hundreds of people have experienced miraculous recoveries from traumatic brain injuries with the use of this drug.
Hamilton Morris, host of the documentary ‘Ambien Awakening’, travels from South Africa where the Ambien effect was discovered to England and Florida to speak with experts regarding their research on Ambien and its effects. He also meets with a voiceover artist who heavily depends on the drug to be able to speak and communicate effectively.
This eye-opening documentary provides an insightful look into how Ambien is being used today to treat those with neurological disabilities, as well as handle everyday disorders like insomnia. It takes us through various stories and case studies that demonstrate how this pill not only helps people sleep but also has the potential to help them regain control over their life. If you’re curious about how this drug works or interested in learning more about its applications, ‘Ambien Awakening’ is definitely worth a watch!
