“What are the possible side effects of sleep medicines?”
What are the various side effects of sleep medicines? I have insomnia and am interested in looking into the available options, but I don't want to deal with side effects. Where should I start?

Every sleeping medication has side effects. Additionally some can be associated with addiction or with daytime impairment. The best first option is to see a sleep specialist who is familiar with the many causes of insomnia. Insomnia can be related to stress or anxiety or depression or medication or alcohol use or illicit drug use or sometimes it is an acquired behavior. There are many behavioral ways to deal with insomnia that do not involve use of sleeping medication. They would be a really good place to start if you want to approach the problem "without side effects"
