If you think you'll never be able to sleep again without pills, be assured that you can stop taking them and it may be easier and quicker than you think. Come and see me at: Sleep Medication Addiction to find out how. Wendy Owen (HH Dip) is a holistic health therapist and sleep researcher with an extensive knowledge in homeopathic and herbal remedies.
Do you have sleep medication addiction? Have you ever tried to stop taking sleeping pills after being on them for a while? Not so easy is it? In fact you may believe that you'll never have a decent sleep again without your pills. You probably know that taking sleep medication long term can be harmful to your health, yet you take it anyway because you're too scared to stop. Well I'm here to tell you that can stop and it can be easier than you think.
Here are five reasons to motivate you to kick this dangerous practice so you may be healthier and actually enjoy better sleep.
1 ~ Sleep medications are habit forming. If you don't believe me just try to stop taking them for one night. By the next morning you may be convinced you'll never be able to do without your pills. Well you can - you'll need to be in the right frame of mind and some help from alternative sleep medications, but you can do it.
2 ~ After a short while your body will develop a tolerance for the medication and you'll need to take more to have the same effect. There is a real danger of overdose from taking over the prescribed amount. Soon you may find that even the maximum dose is having little effect. Where do you go then?
3 ~ Sleep medication damages your wallet as well as your health. Ever noticed how the price increases every time you buy them? Some sleeping pills cost around $100 per prescription! Can you think of something better to do with your hard earned money?
4 ~ Be very careful if you are taking other medications. Some sleeping pills can have results that are contra-indicative to other medicines. Translated that means you can get very sick by taking the two together. Make sure you tell your doctor or pharmacist what else you are taking if you're buying any sleep medication. Even better, just stop taking sleeping pills so you can stop worrying.
5 ~ Do you suffer from daytime drowsiness? Do you know that the hangover effect from some sleep medications is worse than having a bad night's sleep? One of the main reasons we strive for a good night's sleep is so we can feel great the next day. So why take pills that make you feel drowsy for most of the day. Doesn't make sense, does it?
6 ~ This is the real reason to stop taking sleep medications. The quality of you sleep suffers when you're taking sleep medication. Sleeping pills are NOT a cure for insomnia in fact they can make it worse. Not many people realize this and are scared to stop taking the pills in case they never sleep again.
This is simply not true and is the lie that keeps thousands of people popping these pills night after night. Get rid of this fear and you'll be ready to stop taking sleep medication and start enjoying healthy natural sleep which is your birthright!
Ok, I've just listed six reasons instead of five. The thing is there is always a valid reason to cure sleep medication addiction. Don't let those sleeping pills rule your life for one more night.
