The Dangers of Sleeping Pills

Long-term studies on the effects of sleeping pills are alarming. Insomniacs seem better off without them. A study of over 2,000,000 people found the chronic use of sleeping pills as deadly as cigarette smoking.

Some harsh facts on Sleeping Pills:

• Users have higher mortality rates
• Do little to improve chronic insomnia
• Long-term chemical dependency
• Reduce brain cell activity during the day, affecting short-term memory as well as causing a hangover effect
• Accentuate the GABA neurotransmitter, which keeps the nerve cells in the lung tissue from firing, explaining why an overdose becomes deadly (over 1000 deaths each year from asphyxiation)
• GABA actuation causes impaired physical ability, resulting in traffic deaths, accidents, and falls (esp. in the elderly)

Highly addictive, sleeping pills impair the memory, consciousness, judgment, and intelligence. Insomniacs think sleeping pills make them sleep better, when they actually make them feel worse. Here are 2 raw truths: (1) Sleeping pills do not improve daytime function or performance because tests show they don't promote "quality of sleep"; (2) the majority of all sleeping pills prescriptions are repeat prescriptions to chronic insomniacs.

Valerian Root

Valerian root, long used to treat digestive problems and nervous system disorders, is also used effectively as a sleep aid. The isovaleric and valerenic acids in Valerian root seem to relax the central nervous system, enabling a good sleep. Double blind studies show that Valerian root helps people with mild insomnia to fall asleep faster. It also treats anxiety disorders and stress and its sedative effect helps relax the central nervous system and provide a feeling of calmness. Herbalists use Valerian root as a remedy for tension headaches and muscular pain because of its muscle relaxant traits. Unlike prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medications, Valerian root is non-addictive and has few side effects. A truly remarkable natural relaxant, Valerian root does not cause the feeling of grogginess, which prescription sleep aids sometimes do.

Humulus Lupulus

Humulus lupulus, or hops, has long been used to flavor beer, perhaps for its sedative properties. It seems to effectively inhibit COX-2 (cyclo-oxygenase-2) and hence the production of prostaglandins, which break down connective tissue and bone. Hops is selective for COX-2 and not COX-1, so GI problems associated with nonspecific COX inhibitors, like many NSAIDs, are absent.

Passion Flower

Passion Flower, a natural sedative, is used to treat nervous disorders, sleep difficulty, anxiety (incl. female anxiety during menses, childbirth, menopause), and restlessness, esp. in kids. Research shows that it reduces spasms and calms the central nervous system. It also contains flavonoids such as isovitexin, vitexin, saponarin, gynocardin, orientin, glycosides, and alkaloids, which carry known antioxidant properties.

Gambir Vine Stem

Also called Gou Teng, gambir vine stem is an effective anxiolytic agent for it acts via the serotonergic nervous system - so concludes scientists from South Korea's Kyung Hee University (Dept. of Oriental Pharmaceutical Science). Used to treat infantile convulsions, headaches, dizziness, hypertension, and apoplexy, gambir vine stem can also calm excitement in the central nervous system.

Semen Ziziphi Spinosae

This herb (also called Suan Zao Ren) has a calming effect, improving sleep quality. It is used to support spontaneous sweating, night sweats, and irritable mood in menopause.

Rhizoma Corydalis

Rhizoma Corydalis ("Yan Hu Suo") is the main herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for treating pain. It contains isoquinoline alkaloids, and the raw herb is about 1 percent the strength of opium. It aids relaxation, is not addictive, and is valued highly as a muscle relaxant, esp. in treating menstrual pain. A 1999 University of Maryland Dental School study showed that Yan Hu Suo reduced pain and inflammation significantly.
