Default haven't tried it but, some info...

you do know that zolpidem is the generic name for Ambien right?

As for zaleplon (Sonata), i haven't tried it, but i found an interesting Wiki article - drug appears to have a decent profile.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaleplon.

(The inline [n] references below are live links directly to the sources cited by Wiki.)

Quote:
Zaleplon is efficacious in the treatment of insomnia where difficulty in falling asleep is the primary complaint. Zaleplon, unlike many other hypnotic drugs, does not interfere with sleep architecture and can be administered for up to 5 weeks without the risk of dependence or rebound insomnia upon discontinuation.[4]

Zaleplon is also efficacious in the treatment of middle of the night insomnia without causing residual hangover effects.[5][6]

Zaleplon has advantages over benzodiazepines in that it does not disrupt sleep architecture unlike benzodiazepines which whilst inducing sleep actually worsen the quality of it.[7]
take care. insurance companies can be such a pain in the rear.
