Try to identify and deal with that problem if there is any. If that is not the case you could always try yoga and light exercises at least two hours before bedtime. Yoga for beginners is not hard at all and relaxes the entire body and improves ones cardiovascular fitness and agility. You can find it all explained in the article below. I hope that helps.

Ensure you are around someone if you have an allergic reaction to antihistamines or diphenhydramine. If insomnia persists, see a doctor as it could be an underlying problem of depression or anxiety that you will need prescription drugs for.

Shoot it. A real good way to kill yourself if you don't know *exactly* what you are doing. You can't speed it up. It doesn't need to be sped up. You are developing what we call "tolerance", where a medication does not work as well as it used to because your brain is becoming used to it. Getting it into the blood faster will not make any difference. The problem is not getting it in you faster, the problem is your brain is getting used to it, and it doesn't matter how fast you shove it into you. When that happened to me, my Dr. told me to take two pills instead of one. That made it work fast again...for a while. And it also made the side effects worse, and the eventual withdrawals worse. That is the nature of benzos and z-drugs (like ambien). After a short period of time, they don't work as well as they used to, and the only way to make them work good again is to take more. And after a while the higher dose doesn't work as well, so we take more. Eventually we are taking so much we spend our days in a drugged stupor, and we are so hopelessly hooked on it we can't stop taking it because we get zero sleep when we try. That is why the maker says to not take it more then 7-10 days. It is hellishly addictive. That is what ambien will do to you. Quit while you can.

Maybe ask your doctor? I know after I was on it for a few months it took more than an hour for me to fall asleep and after a while I think it stopped working.

I took it way beyond the time reccomended.. I think that is just a few weeks. I took it three months, until my insurance said "no more". It was for the best. The one thing I can reccomend to have the pill be more effective,it to take it 1 hr before you usualy go to sleep.
