More and more women are becoming concerned with the health risks of sleep medications. With that said, there has been a rapid increase in the demand for natural insomnia treatments.

This Top 10 list will provide you with all the reasons we’re seeking out methods of naturally treating insomnia:

1. In March 2007, sedative-hypnotic drug manufacturers were directed by The Food and Drug Administration to strengthen their product labeling. Drug companies had to begin using more explanatory language regarding each drug’s potential risk. Some of those side effects include:
•  Severe facial swelling
• Memory Loss
• Hallucinations
• Drowsiness while driving and/or operating machinery
2. All prescription sleep aids produce side effects. Although varying, complications depend on the specific drug, dosage and the length of time it’s used.
3. In women who have a high drug tolerance, ingesting common sleep aids may not even provide relief (resulting in a total waste of time and money).
4. Benzodiazepine drugs, which are one of the most common sleep aids, possess a very high risk of dependency.
5. Women who abruptly stop their sleep medications often suffer withdrawal symptoms such as shaking, sweating and nausea.
6. Over-the-counter sleeping pills can negatively interact with any other form of medication you’re taking – this also increases the drug’s side effects.
7. Rebound insomnia occurs with both short- and long-term use of sleep medications once their stopped. So, there is a risk for insomnia to actually worsen.
8. Sleep aids can mask underlying health problems (insomnia is a symptom, not a disease).
9.  Sleep aids are expensive. And in addition to their potential health risks, they never deliver an absolute cure for insomnia.
10. While there are more effective, safer and cheaper methods of treating insomnia, there seems to be no logical reason to ingest risky, expensive sleep aids.

So in a nutshell, based on all of the obvious health concerns which include adverse effects from incorrect usage including overdose and drug interactions, it’s highly recommended you seek out natural means of treating insomnia.
