What's with all the Ambien-CR (controlled release) bashing? I often take a 12.5mg Ambien CR before a flight. It helps me get *some* sleep, and maybe I'm a bit groggy in between flights in the connecting airport, but I'm usually a bit groggy in the middle of a long flight anyway. I know everyone's different, but for some people Ambien is pretty helpful, and for me it works better in the CR version.
