Abstract
Zolpidem is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic agent that
was accepted for a short-term treatment course of insomnia
. This drug could be used for short-time relaxation
before surgery. Meanwhile, because of its relaxant effect,
it is used for sleep disturbance, especially initiating sleep,
as the effect starts in 15 minutes after consumption. But, if
the person does not intentionally sleep after usage, he/she
may experience visual or auditory hallucinations that will
be pleasing to the person; it may be less likely to take dangerous
actions during the hallucination due to blood pressure
drop and lethargy .
