Sleeping pills are medications that helps manage certain sleep difficulties, including trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Depending on the specific medicine, they may work by slowing brain activity, promoting relaxation, or influencing natural sleep-wake processes. Some sleeping medicines are perfect for short-term use, while others may be good for particular sleep disorders under medical supervision. Potential side effects can include daytime drowsiness, dizziness, impaired coordination, memory problems, or unusual sleep behaviors.
