Studies on sleep patterns and sleep behaviour have shown that 10% to 30% of adults experience insomnia at any given point in time. And how do they address that? Unfortunately, most resort to popping sleeping pills as a quick solution.
While sleeping pills may put you to sleep and may even solve your sleep-related issues, take note that this helps only in the short-run. But it’s essential that you make yourself aware about the ill effects of sleeping pills on your body. It’s recommended to avoid their usage when you can. Most sleeping pills are ‘sedative hypnotics’, a category of drugs that induce sleep or increase drowsiness, and help you sleep.
While sleeping pills may assist you in falling asleep, they are potentially addictive and can cause problems with memory and attention. In fact, they come with a bunch of side-effects. Sometimes, you may not even realise of a certain side-effect until you‘ve seen your doctor.
Side-effects of sleeping pills may include burning or tingling sensation in hands, arms, feet or legs. There’s also a possibility of change in appetite, constipation or diarrhea.
Other side-effects include dizziness, daytime drowsiness, dry mouth or throat, and even heartburn. Some people may even show mental slowing or problems with attention or memory, on persistent use of sleeping pills.
We recommend that you stay away from sleeping pills. As a solution, you can start with a mattress that can help you fall asleep fast and sleep better.
