Sleep Aids

Do you lie in bed for hours every night? Is sleep something that you wish for but can't seem to get? If you answered yes to either of these questions then you should look into sleep aids. Millions of people around
the world have the same problem that you do: insomnia. But don't despair; there are many treatments for this condition.

One popular treatment is the use of over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids. While these are not as strong as prescription sleep aids, for minor sleep problems they are oftentimes effective. OTC sleep aids can be found at many drug stores and pharmacies. It is important that the person taking these medications does not take them with alcohol or drugs that have similar, sleep-inducing effects.

Another popular sleep aid is valerian root. Despite its strong aroma, this root has been proven to be a very effective sleep aid. There are many products that have valerian root in them. One can also make a strong tea with the root.

For more serious sleep problems, prescription sleep aids are required. These strong sleep aids should only be prescribed if the cause of the insomnia is known. That way the doctor can prescribe the appropriate sleep aid. These prescription sleep aids are called hypnotics. Some examples of hypnotics are:

• Seconal
• Nembutal
• Valium, and
• Librium

Like OTC sleep aids, it is important that the patient does not take these drugs with alcohol or other drugs.

Does all that seem too scary for you? Are you worried about possible medical effects? There is one other solution that is very safe and effective.
