Sleeping Pill Reviews & Ratings
-- Based on Data From Over 650 Users
Sleeping pills (or prescription sleep aids) can be appropriate
to take if a person temporarily needs help sleeping during an
especially stressful time in his or her life.
People who are not overly stressed and still can't sleep well,
either occasionally or regularly, should practice proper sleep
hygiene before resorting to sleeping pills.
For example, exercising
and having darkness,
a proper temperature and
consistent noise in the
bedroom can significantly improve sleep. A good
mattress and pillow
can, of course, also make a difference.
Stubborn cases of long-term sleeplessness or chronic insomnia
is often best treated through the use of cognitive-behavioral
therapy or CBT. (Read my personal CBT
success story.) CBT has been shown to not only be more
effective than sleeping pills, but also does not have
the many potentially serious side effects of pills.
Sleeping pills can be appropriate for longer-term use when all
other non-drug methods have been attempted with limited or no
success.
Most people who begin taking sleeping pills seem to be at least
somewhat unaware of how the drugs can affect them, for better
or worse. As a result, SleepLikeTheDead.com has gathered data
from hundreds of sleeping pill users to document and compare
their effectiveness and identify what dangers and side effects
are involved in their use.
