Sleep
A few nights of not being able to sleep well is a very common reason for visiting the pharmacy or going to see your doctor with the hope of getting something to fix your sleep problem fast. Most people who start taking sleeping pills don’t meet the diagnostic criteria for Insomnia Disorder when they start taking pills.
But taking pills to help you sleep may be the exact wrong thing to do for short-term insomnia. They often lead to more sleep problems when you stop taking them and there are important dangers associated with their use. You should treat insomnia as quickly as you can, but without sleeping pills.
Whether you have experienced insomnia for many years of your life or you have recurrences every now and again of insomnia that last only a few nights, you can do something about it without medications.
