Sleeping drugs are drugs that have an effect on sleep. The purpose of using sleeping drugs is to use sleeping drugs to enable insomnia patients to sleep in a way that produces normal sleep structure and cycles and restores daytime energy. Generally short-acting sleeping drugs have no accumulative effect and no hangover effect when repeatedly administered, but withdrawal symptoms are obvious and more uncomfortable after stopping the drug, and rebound insomnia (drug insomnia) can easily occur; while long-acting hypnotic drugs are the opposite of this. Usually short-acting hypnotic drugs are the mainstay in the treatment of transient insomnia, and the course of treatment is about 2-4 weeks; while the treatment of chronic insomnia is based on non-pharmacological treatment, and large amounts of sleeping drugs should not be taken for a long time to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. Sleeping drugs should generally be taken at bedtime to enhance the therapeutic effect of the drugs and reduce neurological inhibition. After you have taken sleeping pills, you should not carry out stressful work, not to mention reading and studying. For those who have difficulty falling asleep, short-acting sleeping pills are often chosen; for easy awakening at night, long-acting sleeping pills are often chosen; for short sleep time, long-acting sleeping pills can be selected appropriately. For those who have difficulty in falling asleep, you can choose drugs with rapid onset and short duration of action, such as quick sleep, Ambien, Zopiclone, dextrozopiclone, etc., to avoid the continuation of drug effects after waking up in the early morning. For those who have difficulty in maintaining sleep, drugs with slow onset but long duration of action can be used. Such as barbiturates, Valium, chloral hydrate, eszopiclone, oxazepam, etc. For patients who have insubstantial sleep, dreamy and easily startled, but must keep their mind awake during the day, medium-acting drugs can be used. Medium-acting medications can also be used for those who cannot fall asleep in the evening after napping. For patients who also have combined depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, they should also be treated with antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications at the same time. Do not drink with alcohol or use sleeping drugs immediately after drinking alcohol. Because after some drugs meet alcohol, their effects will become stronger, and after taking them, they will damage the liver or cause amnesia. Patients who are thin should reduce the dosage of drugs appropriately; when they are taking drugs for other diseases, they should pay attention to the mutual reaction between drugs and communicate with their doctors in time. Patients who take sleeping pills for a long time should avoid driving cars or operating complicated machinery to prevent accidents. The effect of long-acting sleeping pills often lasts until the 2nd day, which can easily cause deviation if there is important work on the 2nd day. It is important to take care of sleeping pills, especially for patients with depression and schizophrenia, to avoid overdosing on the medication. Patients with children in the family should be more careful to prevent children from taking medication by mistake. Be on the lookout for suicidal people who deliberately swallow an overdose of sleeping pills, and send them to the hospital for resuscitation treatment as soon as they are found. In conclusion, the use of sleeping pills must be used under the guidance of a professional physician, and the choice of gradual reduction, alternative treatment, and non-pharmacological methods should be made according to the advice of the professional physician in order to get rid of the dilemma of relying on sleeping pills for sleep.
