With the increasingly fierce competition in modern society and the accelerating pace of life, the pressure on people has increased, and the phenomenon of insomnia has become more and more common and serious, which has seriously affected people’s quality of life. One of the important ways to treat insomnia is to take sleeping pills. Nowadays, there are two kinds of misconceptions about sleeping pills in the society. One is the excessive superstition and dependence on sleeping pills, as soon as insomnia, take sleeping pills; the other is the side effects and addiction of sleeping pills are overestimated, preferring to suffer the pain of insomnia in silence rather than take the medicine. How to take sleeping pills correctly? Sleeping pills, as the name implies, have the effect of sedation and sleep. 1, some fast-acting, suitable for sleeping difficulties or episodic, temporary insomnia patients. Some of them have a slightly slower onset of action and are suitable for patients with shallow sleep and dreaminess, such as Valium and Alprazolam; 3. Some of them have a slower onset of action and are suitable for patients with shallow sleep and early awakening, such as Valium and Flovent; 4. Of course, sleeping pills improve sleep and improve the quality of life, there are also certain side effects, but the chance of serious side effects is very low, and is usually the result of improper use of drugs. Therefore, there is no need to talk about “sleeping pills”, but like other drugs, there is a problem of the right medication and scientific use. Some patients with insomnia have excessive fear of sleeping pills and worry that they will become addicted to them once they take them, so they take them and stop taking them, resulting in long-term insomnia. In fact, under the guidance of a doctor, only a very small number of addictions occur, and they are not serious. In the process of taking, doctors will also give targeted guidance and treatment, so this fear is completely unnecessary. Of course, some other patients who take sleeping pills when they have insomnia are also inappropriate. This can increase the incidence and severity of side effects, such as diarrhea, headache, memory loss, dizziness, constipation, rash, leukopenia, gastrointestinal reactions, liver and kidney damage, ataxia, teratogenicity, and even addiction. Therefore, you should not take sleeping pills without a doctor’s guidance, or take which sleeping pills feel good, and then keep taking them for a long time. In short, it is necessary to look at sleeping pills in a dialectical way. It should not be seen as a close “friend” or an unforgivable “enemy”, but should be taken properly under the guidance of a doctor. I am convinced that tomorrow will be a better day for insomnia patients.
