That is NOT typical at all. Not saying that it can't occur, but most people will not have hang over effect. That's the advantage over older sleep medications. Gets in your system fast, gets out fast. CR releases 60% of it's medication immediately and the rest over over several hours. Duration of action of the original Ambien and Ambien CR are very similar. As long as you can devote about 7-8 hours to sleep you will be fine. If you can't then don't take it.
