Patients are not recommended to take sleeping pills regularly because long-term sleeping pills can easily lead to tolerance or dependence on the drug, which is not good for health, and patients are also prone to sleep rebound and more sleep when they stop taking oral sleeping pills. The treatment of insomnia includes psychotherapy and medication. Sleep hygiene education and psychological counseling are important tools to improve patients’ insomnia and are the basis for treating insomnia. Patients should develop good sleep habits and eliminate the concern and fear of insomnia. If patients usually have a bad lifestyle to pay attention to adjust, drinking a cup of warm milk before bedtime can play a calming role. Patients can usually take oral Chinese medicine to adjust the function of the internal organs and play a calming effect, such as Sweet Dream Capsules, Baili Sleep Capsules and Tranquilize the Brain Oral Liquid. Patients should follow the principle of individualized and on-demand medication to take sleeping pills, with low-dose, intermittent and short-term administration. Patients are advised to use them under the guidance of physicians and avoid blindly increasing the dosage.
