Can't Sleep?

The Ugly Truth Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Sleeping Pills...

We’ve all been there at one time or another.

Struggling getting to #sleep… Tossing and turning, having trouble staying asleep… awaking the next morning groggy, feeling like you didn’t one ounce of sleep the previous night.

While we’re at the doctor’s office the next day, we implore...

“Doctor, Is there something I can take?”

The doctor says “Sure, let me help you with that.” And he quickly scribbles a prescription for sleep pills.

The downward cycle begins...

Warning: Be Careful

The most popular #prescription sleeping pills contain the #pharmaceutical drug, #Zolpidem. While it’s extremely effective, be on the alert for potential side effects, including...

• Unwelcome #hallucinations...

• Major problems with #memory...

• Mental #confusion...

• Excessive daytime #tiredness (Just because you wake up doesn’t mean the drugs have left your system)...

• Dangerous #sleepwalking...

And this is just the start!

According to “The Dark Side of Sleeping Pills” by Dr. Daniel F. Kripke:

"We have now published a new study of over 10,000 patients who took sleeping pills and over 20,000 matched patients who did not take sleeping pills. “The patients who took sleeping pills DIED 4.6 times as often during follow-ups averaging 2.5 years. Patients who took higher doses (averaging over 132 pills per year) died 5.3 times as often. “Even those patients who took fewer than 18 pills per year had very significantly elevated mortality, 3.6 times that of patients who took no #hypnotics.”

Dr. Kripke continues: "In addition, those who averaged over 132 sleeping pills per year,

were 35% more likely to develop a new CANCER.”

And if premature death and #cancer aren’t enough to put you on high alert…

The new study, published in the British Medical Journal and which involved nearly 9,000 people aged 66 and older found that patients #prescribed the drugs for any length of time — even just a few weeks — were 51 per cent more likely to get #Alzheimer’s, compared with someone who’d never taken them.

It Gets Worse...

Coming OFF the pills is a major challenge because your insomnia kicks in x10! Why do you think sufferers often continue popping the pills even when they’re no longer working?

Over time, sleeping pills cause you to lose trust in your own ability to sleep naturally.

Alzheimer's… Cancer… Death… Plus side effects galore!

Are sleeping pills really worth it?

The sad fact is sleeping pills do NOT give you the restful sleep you need to function during the day. In the end, the costs far outweigh the benefits.

There's a better way -- actually MULTIPLE better ways...

The good news is our primal ancestors never needed to take sleeping pills.

One reason is they aligned their body’s natural circadian rhythm with the rising and setting of the sun.
