How does Ambien work?

As we all know, insomnia is a condition related to a person not being able to relax enough to fall asleep. Thus Ambien when used starts affecting the brain and body and forcing them to relax. In simple terms, we could say that Ambien works by slowing down the activity in the brain.

Ambien, when used acts as a Central nervous system depressant. It increases the activity of the brain chemicals GABA, which is responsible for slowing down brain activities and causing drowsiness that helps in falling asleep.
