Why Sleep Disorders Are Common To Americans?

3. Study revealed that people opt for sleeping pills too quickly instead of first trying natural sleeping aids first.

Another study found doctors wrote more than 10 million prescriptions for the four best-selling sleep aids.

Results of sleep habit survey:

1. 38% of those who’d taken sleeping pill in the last month have been doing so for more than two years –
2. 14% of respondents used a sleeping pill at least eight of the past 30 nights.
3. 5% people admitted that they took a sleeping pill every night.
4. Majority of respondents who took sleeping pills said they’ve also experienced side effects.
