Today, I woke up in the hallway. I took a sleeping pill the night before to get a good sleep in for work, but it turns out it was too strong. I got dizzy and passed out on my way to my bed, fell in the hall and chipped my two front teeth, and slept there - straight through work the next day. FML

WTF. By 'a sleeping pill' do you mean a bottle of sleeping pills?? Even if you took three or four strong ones it wouldn't have that effect.

I actually can attest to this story. Took a nyquil for a cold. 12+ hours later I went to the ER because I was so out of it.

Really? And did that Nyquil kick in in less than 20-30 minutes?

You realize Nyquil takes effect faster than a pill because it's already in a liquid form.

Yep, 20-30 minutes. You literally can not absorb a pill in less than that time

No one said she passed out immediately. She could've waited up awhile for the effects to kick in, and passed out on her way to bed after they already had begun.

Why are people assuming that she took the pill and then immediately passed out? She said she took the pill last night, that's it. She could have taken it, started getting ready for bed, felt dizzy and started heading towards the bed and then passed out. Sure, this could be fake, but think things through before calling fake. OP: This is why you always take sleeping pills on the weekends or on nights where you have nothing to do the next day. Do this at least until you know how the sleeping pills will affect you.

I call fake. Sleeping pills you get at the store aren't strong enough to knock you out like that, especially not with just one. If it was a prescribed sleeping pill the doctor would have started her on the lowest dose possible, and while that could *possibly* have been strong enough to make her sleep in extra hours, I doubt she'd be getting prescribed pills without trying the low-dose store variety first. That being said, if this IS true, YDI OP for not testing it out over the weekend first to see how you would react to it.

Ambien kicks in within 20 minutes and can kick in hard. I don't think this is fake. And if it is, so what? It was still entertaining... Except for the whole chipped tooth thing... Ouch!
