May I take a sleeping pill the night before my surgery

Is it safe to take a pill of Ambien before a surgery under general anesthesia?

I would not. Anesthesia is a very sensitive science, and your life depends on it being done correctly (anesthesiologists are among the highest paid medical professionals because of the importance of their job).

I understand the desire to take it, as you are probably quite nervous about the procedure and want to just get to sleep so you can stop thinking about it. However, I would not say it is worth it.

no. dont put anything in your body 24 hours before surgery. it can interfere with the anesthesia.
