Talk to General Practitioner on Insomnia
Asking For Self, Female 22, Islamabad
Aoa. is it fine to take sleeping pills? As I'm just 22 years old and I can't sleep at night and i have a lot of work to do during day time. if yes please suggest which one and also the dosage. Jazak Allah.
sleeping pills develop tolerance
so its not fine at all
Its better to avoid the pills as they can be very addictive and with time you’ll have to increase the dose. Still if you need it you can take a very mild one. Alp 0.25mg. But don’t take it for more than 7 consecutive days.

WA. It is not advised to take sleeping pills. Its better to modify ur lifestyle first. And try sleeping exercises.
Try some physical activity for atleast 10-15 min a day. Dont take caffeinated products like coffe tea etc after 6:00pm. And the other sleeping exercises that cannot be demosntrated on comments. Just like try counting backwards etc. Thanks.

WS. No it is not fine to take sleeping pills, without any absolute indication. Only allowed for patients with Epilepsy or with serious illness or psychotic issues.
Just do simple tactics. Fix your sleeping schedule. Avoid using any screen at least 2 hrs before sleep. Do muscle stretching before sleep.
Take light dinner at least 2 hrs before sleep.

Taking sleeping pills is not right unless there is indication. You will have to improve your life style you are just 22 years old I will suggest you some good measure and exercise. So you can book your appointment for detail check up and history
waslam. Sleeping pills are of various types. Most common pills which include xanax, ativan , rivotril and lexotanil are called benzos. These can be taken for 2 weeks , however if they are taken for more duration their depenandance and tolerance occurs . Which means you have to take more dose in order to have adequate response. Lack of sleep is a symptom which has number of causes . In order for you to take a particular sleeping pill. First you have to rule out your cause of lack of sleep. which maybe stress, caffine intake , etc. for that you need a proper psychiatric evaluation. We have more safe and effective options for treatment of sleep problem
