He even changed his Facebook status to engaged before he realised what he'd done.
If you've ever taken suffered from insomnia, you may be familiar with the superscription medication Ambien - an extremely powerful sleeping tablet.
How powerful exactly? Powerful enough that you can go to bed single and wake up engaged...
That's what happened to one Reddit user who found himself engaged to his girlfriend, with no idea how it happened.
According to a post on Reddit page TIFU (Today I F****d Up) a man (according to himself) was consuming Ambien to help him sleep.
And long story short he ended up asking his girlfriend to marry him when he was under the influence of the sleep drug.
The post read:
''I want to start off with saying that AMBIEN is the strongest drug/hallucinogen i’ve ever tried and you should not f**k with it.
''Anyways, one night i just couldn't sleep, so i decided to take 4 10mg ambiens (im an idiot) and I had an engagement ring in my drawer than i traded for some other jewelery because i buy and sell stuff on craigslist.
''Anyways, long story short i woke up and she was wearing the ring on her finger and had explained what had happened and i was just shook because i couldn't remember s**t.
''I go on my facebook and apparently my ambien drugged brain changed my relationship status to engaged and it got 150+likes before i f*****n saw it.
''I had not planned on being engaged with my girlfriend for another year and a half and probably would've gotten her a better ring but ambien sped up the process ten folds.
Warning: if its 3am, and you can’t sleep, DO NOT TAKE AMBIEN.
TL;DR – Took ambien because I couldnt sleep and ended up proposing to my girlfriend that night.''
So at least he was planning to get engaged anyway...but still just imagine how freaked you'd be!
