As someone who is prescribed Ambien for a sleep disorder, I can confirm:  it does not, in fact, make you racist.  What it does is lower your inhibitions if you stay up too long on it.  That’s why Tiger Woods loved it so much for his freaky sex.  You feel loopy and creative and free from overthinking things.  I’ve written blogs on it before and woke up with no memory of them and they turn out to be some of the best things I’ve ever written.  Back before Barstool when I ran a music site I woke up and saw that I had completely changed the template and color scheme of the blog with no recollection of doing it.  It looked fucking dope.   This isn’t a recommendation to do it obviously because it’s super dangerous especially if you do dumb shit like drive a car or cook something in your apartment.  But if you do find yourself unable to fall asleep right away while it’s in your system, you can do some pretty creative stuff because you aren’t as worried about whether people will hate it or if it’s good enough.  That goes for comedy, writing, art, whatever you’re into.  What it doesn’t do is make completely random stuff come out of you that you don’t actually think or believe.  If you find yourself tweeting about black people looking like “apes,” that’s a real feeling that you’ve had inside, and the Ambien just let it flow.

Just my two cents.  Then again I’m not a doctor.  My mom reminds me of that every day.
