Hello people. I have occasional trouble sleeping (only maybe once a month) and I get get hardly any sleep atall (maybe 1 or 2 hours in the night). Normally I sleep fine.
Has anyone any experience of taking sleeping tablets occasionally? Do they help? Are they addictive? Any advice appreciated

They are good (when they work :yeees: ) but I always find that I have a struggle to wake up easily in the morning.
Apart from that they`re great! :thumb:
Some sleeping pills (benzo's) are physically addictive and should never be taken for more than a month (unless your GP expressly says so, though even then make sure). They have a very strong addiction and they are one of the very few drugs you can die from if withdrawn too quickly.
