Now it makes sense to me


Andy Borowitz has it all figured out:

STUDY: AMBIEN USERS INVADE COUNTRIES IN THEIR SLEEP

Wake Up With No Memory of Reasons for Invasion, No Exit Strategy


A mounting pile of anecdotal evidence suggests that users of the popular sleep medication Ambien may invade countries in their sleep, and then wake up with no memory of the reasons they invaded, according to a study released today.

The study, conducted by the University of Minnesota, attempts to shed light on a little-known side effect of Ambien, in which users who are fast asleep go on country-invading binges.

Dr. Davis Logsdon, who supervised the University of Minnesota study, said that Ambien users who have no memory of invading countries while asleep wake up with no idea of what to do with the country they invaded.

“Making matters worse, they have no exit strategy, either,” Dr; Logsdon said. “Their only option is to remain in the country they invaded, and keep taking Ambien.”
