Dr. Lu said: What are the characteristics of the perfect sleep aid? Is there a perfect sleeping aid?

Sleep is an innate normal physiological function, which can restore energy and relieve fatigue, and has a very important protective effect on the physical and mental health of individuals. However, for modern people, due to work pressure, bad living habits, biological rhythm disorder, chronic diseases and other factors, it is easy to cause sleep quality decline or even insomnia, and a good sleep has become a luxury. Relevant data show that there are more than 200 million insomnia groups in China, which seriously affects the quality of life and physical and mental health.

Because many people suffer from insomnia, these patients love and hate these sleep AIDS. I can't love them without them. Only after taking sleep medicine can they improve their sleep. I hate them very much, because taking these drugs for a long time is easy to produce drug resistance and dependence, so it really embarrassed them. Long-term drug resistance will lead to psychological dependence, physical dependence and addiction to sleep-helping drugs. If the drug is stopped suddenly, insomnia will rebound, that is, insomnia symptoms will reappear or even worsen. Some long-acting sleep-helping drugs have a long-lasting effect, and the next morning, there will be some after-effects such as drowsiness, dizziness and drowsiness.

In addition, due to muscle relaxation after taking sleeping pills, it is easy to increase the risk of patients falling, especially the older they are, the greater the risk of falling. Sleeping AIDS can also cause respiratory depression, which is a taboo for patients with severe respiratory diseases. Taking sleeping AIDS will affect patients' judgment and operational response, so driving a car or operating machinery will bring them danger. This is an adverse reaction of some sleep AIDS.

So, what is the perfect sleeping aid? First of all, first of all, patients can be hypnotized quickly after taking the medicine, and they can fall asleep after 30 minutes, which is what most sleep-helping drugs can do; Second, the perfect sleeping pill should be awake, energetic and efficient in work and study the next day after taking the medicine, and there will be no secondary backward effects such as dizziness, drowsiness and fatigue; The third point is that it will not produce drug resistance; The fourth point is there will be no dependence!

Therefore, sleeping pills are not the best way to solve chronic insomnia. Sleeping pills can only be used for a short time, not for a long time, otherwise some side effects will inevitably occur. Therefore, when insomnia occurs, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible, or seek the help of a specialist, clarify the cause, and then treat the symptoms to achieve better curative effect.
