Prescription sleeping pills (and even some over-the-counter sleep aids) and certain antidepressants may not be safe if you’re pregnant, nursing, or an older adult. Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that people associate with difficulty falling asleep, waking up in the middle of sleep, or a bad night’s sleep. Older antidepressants are sometimes prescribed to treat sleep disorders because they alter the brain chemicals that can help regulate sleep. These are prescription drugs, which include prescription drugs such as zaleplon (Sonata), zolpidem (Ambien), and eszopiclone (Lunesta).
An Epsom salt bath is one of the most proven and cost-effective remedies for sleep disorders.
What is the best sleep aid for severe insomnia?
While they may prove effective in treating sleep disorders, a person must avoid them in the long term due to potential addiction issues and only use them for a few weeks. Benzodiazepine tranquilizers such as triazolam (Halcion), estazolam, lorazepam (Ativan), temazepam (Restoril), flurazepam and quazepam (Doral) and non-benzodiazepine tranquilizers such as zolpidem (Ambien, Intermezzo), eszopiclone (Lunesta), and zaleplon (Sonesta) Ata) are medications, which can help induce sleep. Both children and adults can have trouble sleeping if they are overstimulated by activity or television just before bed. In addition to sleep aids, a person may find that CBT-I, lifestyle changes, and improving sleep hygiene may work better in long-term treatment of sleep disorders.
