Prescription pills don't equal better sleep in the long run for women, study suggests
CNN
Research on more than 600 women in the United States found that those who used medication to help their insomnia over a one to two-year period found that they did not get a better night's sleep than those who did not take any prescription sleep meds.
While many sleep aids work over short periods of up to six months, clinical trial data has showed, insomnia can be a chronic problem -- and many people end up taking these drugs for longer. Much less is known about the long-term benefits of these drugs, said the authors of a new study published in the journal BMJ Open.More Related News
