The Potential Downsides of Sleep Aids

Many people turn to sleep aids like supplements or medications to solve their immediate sleep problems. While these tools can be helpful for acute problems or short-term use, they can often become psychologically addicting, leading individuals to lose confidence in their ability to sleep without them. Chronic use of sleep aids can create a sense of always being on the defense and fearing the night. Tapering off these medications slowly, based on individual preference and confidence levels, can help individuals regain confidence in their ability to sleep without sleep aids.
