About Us

A type of medication that is used to treat insomnia is known as sleeping pills. The most commonly used sleeping pills are benzodiazepines, like Ativan and Valium and barbiturates, such as Phenobarbital. Nonbenzodiazepine sedatives (such Restoril or Zolpidem) are also offered. Sleeping pills block nerve cells within the brain that are responsible for arousal and awakeness. People who take sleeping pills can sleep longer and more comfortably. This could make it easier for them to fall asleep quicker and to stay in bed for longer.
