Insomnia can be a terrible thing to struggle and many who do look for various ways to find relief in order to get some rest. Popping in a sleeping pill may seem to be the easiest solution and it may lead to better rest, but recent studies have shown that a price may be paid down the road by those who do take a sleeping pill.
It has been proven through research that those who take sleeping pills are a third more likely to die prematurely than those who don’t.
Despite the fact that these things have been proven, sleeping pills still have their place in society. In fact, some British experts questioned this study done in Canada. They believe it has over-stated the risks involved in taking sleeping pills.
Dr Belleville analysed 12 years of data on more than 12,000 Canadians.
When all other factors were equal, death rates were found to be significantly higher among sleeping pill users and those taking tablets to ease anxiety.
