Dealing With Insomnia Naturally – 18 Ugly Sleeping Pill Side Effects...

It's pretty much common knowledge that sleeping pills, though possibly helpful for the short-term, have a large array of known side effects, some of which are positively deadly, including addiction.

If you're going to be dealing with insomnia naturally and stay poisonous-drug free then it's helpful to know what the possible side effects can be.

The vast array of sleeping pill side effects are just another set of contributing causes of insomnia. They join stress, depression, bad health, poor dietary habits and many other issues as curses against the already frustrated prematurely ageing insomniac.

Some Common Side Effects

Here's a list that should go some way to preparing you for dealing with insomnia naturally rather than with sleeping pills;

1. Addiction - emotional or physical addiction is life-destroying
2. Sleep-walking
3. Sleep-driving - the dangers here are obvious don't you think?
4. Hallucinations
5. Amnesia
6. Daytime drowsiness and dizziness
7. Dry mouth
8. Weight gain/Binge Eating
9. Diarrhea
10. Gas
11. Constipation
12. Weight gain and/or binge eating
13. Other large changes in appetite
14. Heartburn
15. Stomach pains and other stomach discomfort
16. Dry mouth
17. Headaches

Another potentially fatal side effect is the fact that sleeping pills affect your breathing. They slow the breathing rate and depth of individual intake of breath - woe betide those with any type of lung disorder like asthma etc.

So to summarize; stress, depression, lack of a healthy exercise routine, a poor bedtime routine and diet, the need to re-train your brain and your way of thinking, coupled with a clear knowledge of what the use of sleeping pills may do to you is critical for ensuring you rid yourself of the misery of insomnia and its' associated health destroying issues.
