AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sleeping pills are Sedative-Hypnotics often prescribed for insomnia. Unfortunately, many people become dependent on them and develop an addiction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Studies show that sleeping pills aren’t that helpful in promoting a good night’s rest. Most people who take sleep aids fall asleep about eight to 20 minutes faster than those without medicine. On average, you might get an additional 35 minutes of shuteye. Generally, sleep aids should be for short-term use.

Detailed explanation-3: -Is It Safe To Take Sleeping Pills Every Night? Most experts agree that sleep aids should not be used long-term. Sleeping pills are best used for short-term stressors, jet lag, or similar sleep problems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yet after regular use for a longer period, some sleeping pills such as benzodiazepines or benzodiazepine agonists such as zolpidem or eszopiclone may stop working as you build a tolerance to the medication. (However, tolerance has not been shown with non-habit-forming sleeping pills like Belsomra, Rozerem, or Silenor.)
