Hello! I recently got prescribed Ambien to help with my insomnia and I'm a bit nervous about taking it, particularly because of the side effect like sleepwalking and complex sleep behaviors. I plan on taking this for sleep, not recreational purposes, so I have some questions.

Are there any ways to reduce the likelihood of doing odd things at night? If I take a smaller dose, am I better off?

Additionally, should I keep my phone out of reach, room clear to walk through, etc. if something does happen?

Any advice or help would be very appreciated! I'm very likely going to try taking some tomorrow night, as my insomnia is terrible tonight.

Thanks!
