These most commonly used sleeping pills are part of the great family of benzodiazepines and are related to each other. They reduce the anxiety that results in&#160;or accompanies &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/health/healthy-practices/compter-les-moutons-sendormir-ca-marche-65678.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;insomnia&#60;/a&#62;&#160;and promote the release of neurotransmitters that facilitate sleep. But these substances are not as high in quality -&#160;far from it, in fact.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;A study published in September 2014 showed that people eating certain benzodiazepines for more than three months would see their risk of getting Alzheimer&#039;s increase to 51%*. For now, no causal link has been established because of &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/dossier/singlehood-celebrate-your-freedom/celibacy-others-project-anxieties-66-116215.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-116215&#34;&#62;anxiety&#60;/a&#62;&#160;or sleep problems. What&#160;some&#160;are prescribed could also be risk factors for this neurodegenerative disease. However, we know that sleeping pills are part of the cause of&#160;vigilance disorders, road accidents and&#160;falls, because of their sedative effect that persists in the morning.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;SLEEPING PILLS MAY MAKE YOU ADDICTED&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;And if these drugs often prove effective in the beginning, their benefits on sleep subside within a few weeks. They no longer serve well&#160;but can&#160;quickly turn into a nightmare, as physical and &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/decoding/pourquoi-je-ne-lache-jamais-mon-smartphone-84924.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#post-84924&#34;&#62;psychological addictions&#60;/a&#62; take hold. To avoid getting into the vicious cycle&#160;of addiction, health authorities recommend not to take them for more than thirty days. However, the majority of users would be under treatment for seven months on average** and specialists surveyed daily encounters with patients who take these pills for years.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;*British Medical Journal.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;**High Health Authority.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;WHERE TO FIND A GOOD SLEEP SPECIALIST?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;Look for your nearest&#160;university hospital sleep center.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Maureen Diament and Nur Syazana H.&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/dossier/how-to-get-sleeping-pills&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/hk/dossier/how-to-get-sleeping-pills&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
