Answer 2

Sleeping pills can be used only if prescribed by the doctor, since he shall check ur age, health conditions and requirement of the power of the sleeping pills... I too got from the doctor's advice rather than across the counter at the medical shop.. He asked me not to continue after 10-20 days.. Since i might get addicted to it.. So Jus go to ur doctor.... All will be fine

Answer 3

Sleeping pills block dreams and prevent restful sleep. Don't go down that path. Figure out why you cannot sleep and treat the cause, not the symptom.

If you are older, you may not have enough melatonine to allow you to sleep. You can buy supplements called melatonine.

If you drank coffee or other stimulants, lay off.

If your roommates complain about your snoring, you may have sleep apena. Check with your doctor.

Are there noises or light in your bedroom? Address that problem.

Do you sleep too much? Try going to bed only when you are tired and sleep a moderate amount.

Are you stressed about your life or profession? Deal with this.

The list goes on. Please identify the cause of the sleep problem and then address it. Don't try to take a shortcut that may lead to more problems later.

Answer 4

Try natural Melatonin 3 mg. You can buy this @ Walmart. It works for me sometimes I take 2 tablets when I need to sleep! I also have taken Advil pm but I went back to the Melatonin...and it is reasonable in price too. Good Luck to you!!

Answer 5

Benedryl and dyphenhydramine are both available at Wally-World and are the same drug. The best thing about this drug is that there is(in most cases) no hangover. This is the main reason that this was used at the hospital where my mom worked.

Answer 6

Motion Sickness Pills. 2 or 3 of those and in half an hour you won't be able to keep your eyes open. Trust me...

Answer 7

I suggest you should drink milk before going to bed rather than taking in sleeping pills because yes,this pills has side effects.
Long-term studies on the effects of sleeping pills don’t show encouraging results. In fact the one major conclusion from all studies is that insomniacs are better off without sleeping pills than they are with them. One study alone that surveyed over 2,000,000 people, found that chronic use of sleeping pills are as deadly as cigarette smoking.

The case against sleeping pills is compelling. The following information points out some important reasons why sleeping pills should not be considered.

Those who use sleeping pills have significantly higher mortality rates than those who do not
Sleeping pills (& even the newer generations) do little or nothing to improve chronic insomnia and cause long-term chemical dependency
Sleeping pills reduce brain cell activity during the day, affecting short-term memory as well as causing a hangover effect
Sleeping pills accentuate the GABA neurotransmitter, which keeps the nerve cells in the lung tissue from firing. This is why an overdose of sleeping pills will cause asphyxiation and over 1000 overdose related deaths each year
GABA actuation is also responsible for impaired physical ability. Each year, thousands of traffic deaths, accidents and falls (especially in the elderly) are attributed to sleeping pills
Sleep Apnea Patients should never take sleeping pills. Sleeping pills increase the pauses and length of pause in breathing. Someone with sleep apnea could suffer brain or ocular damage from the lack of oxygen or even death
Anyone over the age of 40 should be cautioned against sleeping pills, and anyone over the age of 65 should never take sleeping pills. Studies show that almost all people over 40 have some symptoms of sleep apnea, and anyone over 65 would be clinically diagnosed with sleep apnea
Sleeping pills create a hypnotic dependency similar to alcohol and lower inhibitions and fear of pain or consequences. This is one reason why sleeping pills contribute to accidents and why chronic sleeping pill users are less likely to worry or take care of themselves
Sleeping pills are highly addictive. Sleeping pills are similar to barbiturates and are extremely difficult to stop using
Although sleeping pills do not improve daytime functioning, people still prefer taking them because of the barbiturate feel-good effect they produce. As with many addictive drugs, they may not be helpful, but we feel good when we take them

Unfortunately sleeping pills do the same things to us during the day that we want them to at night. That is they impair our consciousness, judgment, memory and intelligence. Ironically, insomniacs think sleeping pills make them sleep better, when they actually make them feel worse. This is because of the misperception that sleeping pills are supposed to help us sleep better. In comparison studies against placebo, patients receiving placebo did better than those with sleeping pills, although those with the sleeping pills erroneously believed they were doing better.

Perhaps the most shocking condemnation of sleeping pills is that they do not improve daytime function or performance. Since the definition for ‘Quality of Sleep’ is that amount which allows us to operate at optimum levels of energy, sleeping pills are not the answer. Pharmaceutical companies concentrate on reducing the side effects of sleeping pills, not on improving daytime performance. Those who take these pills however, are misguided into believing they will receive a daytime benefit. The chance is very high that they will end up becoming chronic sleeping pill users. New commercials for sleeping pills now caution that, “Almost everyone has some risk of becoming dependant on sleep medication.”

While defending the use of sleeping pills, pharmaceutical companies counter that most of the people who use sleeping pills take them for a few weeks or less. What they don’t say, however is that the vast majority of all prescriptions are repeat prescriptions to chronic insomniacs.
