    The stresses and strains of everyday living can leave a lot of people feeling very tired. However, not everyone can benefit from a healthy nights sleep and in lots of circumstances they turn to a plethora of pills to help them sleep.

    Although there are ranges of sleeping pills available through your doctor, a lot of them are not without side effects, some of which could be really very crippling to your general state of health.

    The variance of side effects can include such things as drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. To the harsher effects which in some cases lead to depression.

    Another well known sleeping pill called Ambien also has a long list of Ambien side effects and Ambien is a trade name for Zolpidem, can lead to any one of the following:

    * Anterograde amnesia

    * Hallucinations , through all physical senses, of varying intensity

    * Delusions

    * Altered thought patterns

    * Ataxia or poor motor coordination , difficulty maintaining balance

    * Euphoria and/or dysphoria

    * Increased appetite

    * Increased libido

    * Amnesia

    * Impaired judgment and reasoning

    * Increased impulsivity

    * When stopped, rebound insomnia may occur

    * Headaches, in some people

    For example the Rozerem side effects in 2% of cases can lead to depression. People need to be careful if they already suffer from depression then sleeping pills like Rozerem should be off limits.

    Other pills such as Lunesta, which goes uner the name of Eszopiclone, can lead to things like unpleasant bitter or metallic taste, headaches, chest pain, cold-like symptoms, body pains, dry mouth, daytime drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness

    It’s obvious with just a handfull of perscription pills covered in this post it’s obvious that some of the estanlished pills can lead to numerous lousy side effects.

    So are there any alternatives and what should you be considering.

    There are more natural options to perscription pills and although in some cases they are not as effective as perscription pills, at least you’ll be safe in the knowledge that there wont be any nasty side effects.
