In the past, we would see people commit suicide by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills on TV news (or TV series), or we would hear people say that sleeping pills would make them heavier as they were taken, so many people still have the impression that sleeping pills are dangerous! If you think so too, you may want to change your mind!
In the early days, traditional sleeping pills did inhibit the entire brain function, and if they were taken continuously for a long time, because the body had tolerance problems to sleeping pills, it was necessary to take heavier doses or switch to stronger drugs to be effective.
Today’s sleeping pills are really not what you think!
Nowadays, new sleeping pills are so powerful that they are almost non-dependent. They induce sleepiness by inhibiting the function of the brain's arousal center, rather than stimulating the sleep center to make people fall asleep. Many people do not have the correct knowledge about sleeping pills. As a result, although they can use drugs to help them fall asleep, they are worried about their effects, which will increase stress and make it more difficult to fall asleep. What's worse is turning to alcohol for help. Once you can't sleep or encounter a major accident, relying on alcohol to help you fall asleep is very harmful to your body!
But! No matter how safe the current new sleeping pills are, they must be evaluated by a sleep specialist before taking them and taken according to the instructions prescribed by the doctor. Another very important point is that alcohol and drugs must not be taken at the same time, otherwise the liver's ability to metabolize drugs will be greatly affected!
