Are Sleep Aid Pills Bad For You?

If you’re having trouble with insomnia and looking for the best sleeping tablets on the market, you may be wondering just where the tradeoff falls between something that delivers results and something that’s bad for you. You definitely have to be careful any time you’re taking a supplement or tablet. It pays to do your homework, know what the ingredients are that you’re consuming, and evaluate the long-term effects, as well as the short-term ones, of taking that substance.

So are sleep aid pills bad for you or not?

The short answer is, it depends. Here are the factors that we’d recommend you to consider so that you can choose the best sleeping tablets. Sleep aid pills are worse for you when....

1. They create dependency.

Some sleep aid pills can create dependency where, after a while, you can no longer fall asleep naturally and would need to wean yourself off of them gradually in order to go back to healthy sleep habits. Be very watchful of what happens when you try to quit taking your sleeping pills. If what started out as an attempt to correct short-term insomnia has now become a need where you would lie awake all night without the pill, then you may be addicted to one or more of the ingredients. The best sleeping tablets will deliver results without creating an addiction. The Energy By Science Sleep Capsules use only natural, non-GMO, gluten free ingredients that are designed to help you to fall asleep and stay asleep without also causing you to get addicted.

2. They leave you extremely drowsy upon awaking.

Many over-the-counter and prescription sleep medications leave you with a prolonged feeling of drowsiness when you wake up. This is because most sleeping pills are essentially sedatives. As long as the sleeping pill remains in your system, it will make you feel drowsy. While this is not “bad for you” in the sense of being toxic, it is bad for productivity. Part of the main reason you’re taking a sleep capsule in the first place is because you need to be rested when you wake up in the morning so that you can go about your daily life. You need a sleep aid that will not leave you drowsy upon awaking, but rather one that will allow you to feel your best in the morning and at night. The Sleep Capsules from Energy By Science work with the biology of your body to help you to be asleep when you should be asleep and awake when you need to be awake.

3. They go about putting you to sleep in an artificial way.

The main prescription sleep medications all work by binding to the GABA receptors in the brain, which essentially hinders neurotransmitter activity. However, this is not the “normal” way that the body uses to fall asleep. Natural sleep comes from a precisely orchestrated dance of what is called the circadian rhythm. While we still don’t fully understand all the inner workings of the circadian rhythm, the more we align with what our body is already trying to do, the more we will succeed in getting natural sleep. The Energy By Science Sleep Capsules are designed to work in close conjunction with the body’s own mechanisms, resulting in natural, peaceful sleep.
