HOW TO STOP TAKING SLEEPING PILLS?
The myth of sleeping pills needs to be destroyed here. Sleeping pills are useful for two weeks only; after that the body develops a tolerance to the pills and they become less and less effective in inducing sleep. The reason why most people continue to take them beyond two weeks is to avoid rebound insomnia. Rebound insomnia is a withdrawal symptom experienced after sleeping pills are stopped. Rebound insomnia should be distinguished from true insomnia. When the sleeping pills are stopped, rebound insomnia follows immediately, and one must be prepared for not sleeping well for the next few nights. Natural sleep should commence after the rebound insomnia passes. Hence it is most important to stop taking the sleeping pills gradually. The tragedy is that most people stop taking the sleeping pills suddenly, and consequently they cannot sleep because they experience rebound insomnia. They then believe they have lost the innate ability to sleep, and they immediately start taking the sleeping pills again.
