Today, I woke up in jail charged with a DWI. I wasn't drinking last night and the only thing I remember is taking my prescription sleep medicine and lying down. FML

Today, my roommates told me about all the stupid and embarrassing things I did last night, none of which I remember. Drunk out of my mind? No, I just tried a new sleeping pill after weeks of insomnia. I still barely slept. FML

Today, I was drunk and crashed on my friend's couch to sober up. On the drive home, a cop pulled me over for seemingly no reason. He kept asking if I had been drinking, to which I answered no. Finally, he told me to look in the mirror. My friends had written all over my face while I slept. FML

Drugged?

Today, I went to spend time with friends. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed with several blocked contacts and text messages, saying that what I did was unacceptable. No drugs or alcohol were involved, and I have no memory of this. FML

Today, I was arrested for DWI in my own apartment complex. I had to be released into the custody of a sober adult, but I wasn't allowed access to my phone to get any numbers. I only have a few memorized. So I was picked up from jail by my ex-girlfriend and her fiancé - my manager at work. FML

Today, I woke up in bed with a one-night stand. We got really drunk the night before so I went to make a hangover-cure breakfast. Apparently he was so drunk that he didn't remember me, and when he came to the kitchen, he knocked me out with a pan and called the cops. FML

Today, I had to go to court to see whether my driver's license is suspended for an entire year. I woke up early, went to court, and everything went perfectly, with all the charges being dropped. Unfortunately, I then woke up, and am now going to be late. FML

Today, after a night of heavy drinking, I woke up handcuffed to my bed. My friends who are responsible for this think it's hilarious and claimed not to remember where they put the keys. They took pictures, then left. FML

Today, I was the designated driver. On the way home with my drunk friends, they decide to give me a beer shower. I swerved, and was pulled over by a cop moments after. I was the only one arrested. FML

Some of those pills have warnings that you can do things in your sleep and have no memory of it

Someone is depriving us of the entire story. Either way you will be slapped with a DUI in your case which can be a arduous and timely process. You might as well go all out until your court/sentencing date because after that you will be regretting life.

You shouldn't thumb this down, it's true. I spent 77 days in county jail under the same circumstances as well as 2 years worth of probation hell. Driving on ambien happens a lot and in a lot of cases it ends poorly. I went to sleep expecting to get some rest and woke up as I was being booked at the police station. Honestly it's really scary.

No, I think it pretty much sums up the story.

I was just reading about this in a magazine article. Apparently if you kill someone while on ambien (in a car wreck), you're more likely to walk away with no jail time. Which some people might feel that the drug taker deserves whatever they get, but when my doc prescribed me ambien, he failed to mention "hypnotic like side effects" and if you don't fall asleep right away like you mentioned, 20 or so minutes later you're wondering around through your forest or having sex on a beach. Don't take it!

You must have taken your medication with vodka.

That sucks. Hopefully, the cops pulled blood - that test will show no alcohol, and no drugs other than the sleep medication. Then a good lawyer (or even a so-so lawyer) should be able to get you a sentence reduction. Remember, it's not the police who charge you. The state attorney has to do that. The police arrest you on suspicion of whatever, but that alone does not prove guilt.
