SCOPE OF HOMEOPATHY IN SLEEPLESSNESS 

Conventional treatment for insomnia employs the use of sleeping pills or ‘sedative hypnotics’ to induce or maintain sleep. The different types of sleeping pills include specific hypnotics, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates.

Common benzodiazepines like Valium, Xanax, Librium, and Ativan increase drowsiness, thereby enabling sleep. Most of these drugs are potentially addictive and are known to cause memory and attention problems. In most cases, they are not recommended for long-term treatment of sleeping problems.

Some new drugs are now replacing benzodiazepines, which are not as habit forming, but still can cause physical dependencies.

Some common side effects of sleeping pills are:

– changes in appetite

– diarrhea

– constipation

– headache

– gas

– drowsiness during daytime

– dry mouth and throat

– tingling sensation in limbs

– difficulty maintaining balance

– heartburn

– memory and attention problems

– weakness

– stomach-related issues

Another serious, potential side effect of sleeping pills is parasomnia. Parasomnias are involuntary behaviours and movements like sleepwalking, over which an individual has no control. During an attack of parasomnia, the person is asleep and unaware. Sleeping pills are usually prescribed on a short term basis since they tend to stop working once the body builds a tolerance to the drugs with time.

No Side-Effects of Homeopathy 

Homeopathic natural medicines for insomnia have no side effects since they are made of natural substances. They work at a psychosomatic level to treat the root cause of sleeplessness .
