Project Summary

Ambien is a kernel extension for Mac OS X to prevent the system from sleeping when the clamshell is closed.

The name was derived from the original anti-sleep kext, "Insomnia"; Insomnia was unmaintained, closed-source, and would not allow the Mac to sleep even on requests from the Apple menu. Ambien, then, was written to resolve one's problems with Insomnia. (I know. The pun does kill.)
