Breathing walls and glowing frogs courtesy of Ambien

I’ve been sleeping like crap again, so I thought I’d give Ambien a second try, thinking my first experience with it last year during my insomnia was just a fluke. But, now I know it’s not because two nights ago my house alarm keypad turned into a glowing 3-D Rubix cube being driven around my wall by a green frog with a silly grin. And the walls of my room looked as if they were breathing, in and out, along with all of my blankets. 

At least this Ambien go-round I realized it was just a hallucination, unlike my first experience where I hid under my covers in sheer terror as I watched the demonic house fan shoot laser beams out his eyes from the end of my bed! That wasn’t fun, but the green frog actually kept me fully entertained for about 30 minutes until I decided that I’d better just pass out given that I had my first massage job interview that next day. 

Anyway, I don’t really know what’s in those pills, but they can’t be doing good things to my brain if I’m tripping out on green frogs and demonic fans so I guess I’ll have to find another solution for my sleeplessness. Sigh.
