I completely stopped taking that stuff as a sleeping medicine. I might take it if I happen to develop an allergy or something, but that is about it.

Also, I believe the risk of dependency needs to be reevaluated for that stuff. For me, I trade one nights sleep for two shitty ones if I take it. So, it’s keep taking it, or just power through a couple more days of not being able to get to sleep after taking it. I personally believe this can lead to longer term sleep issues. (I do not believe there is going to be evidence or studies to back up my claims, but I haven’t really looked.)

Sure, it could have just been psychological issues for me, but there were issues nonetheless.
