Ambien is okay the night before surgery
Hi there-
As long as you don't have medical problems, and you give yourself a good 8 hours to sleep after taking it, Ambien should not interfere with your surgery.

Can You Take Ambien the Night Before Surgery with General Anesthesia?
Yes, you can. Unless there are medical issues that would suggest otherwise, we offer it as an option to anxious patients who feel that without "help" they would not get any sleep the night before surgery. Not a big deal.

Ambien the night before surgery
Taking ambien the night before surgery is OK. This should not have any affect on the anesthestics being used for surgery.

Sleep before general anesthesia
Yes, you may take your Ambien the night before surgery. Just make sure your surgeon and anesthesiologist are aware.
