New findings on insomnia pills question the standard prescribing dosages currently in practice. According to a new study done by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, people who depend on prescription sleeping pills to treat chronic insomnia may get relief from as little as half the drugs they are taking.
Insomnia is a condition where people find it difficult to fall asleep and/or stay asleep at least three nights a weeks. If the condition persists for more than one month it is classified as chronic insomnia.
The study, which is published in the journal Sleep Medicine, even advocates the use of placebos in the treatment plan. The new approach proposed by the researchers will allow individuals to maximize their sleep duration, and minimize not only the time required to fall asleep, but also the cost of medication and the side effects associated with sleeping pills. The common side effects include daytime drowsiness, nausea, and muscle pain.
