Buying Sleeping Tablets Online

Sleeping tablets are a medication used to promote or extend sleep in individuals who experience insomnia. They may be sedatives or hypnotics.

Most people think that prescription sleep medication doesn’t come with many risks. Sadly, this is not the case. Most prescription meds are extremely dangerous and should be taken carefully. Valium overdoses for example, are much more common than you might think. In the last 20 years, we have seen an increase in Benzodiazepine overdose that is quite worrying. We have gone from a little over 1 thousand a year, to over 11 thousand.

If you have trouble initiating or maintaining sleep, then you can choose between herbal sleeping tablets, prescription, and non-prescription (also known as over-the-counter (OTC)) sleeping tablets.

Instead of visiting your local pharmacist, you can purchase all forms of sleeping tablets online.

Some OTC sleeping tablets like the Paso Sleep Capsules contain herbal formulations such as valerian roots, lavender, or melatonin, while others, like Nytol, contain antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.

Let’s have a look at some of the most effective sleeping tablets UK:

Melatonin: Melatonin supplements help with your sleep / wake cycle.

• In the US, they can be purchased without a prescription from pharmacies, supermarkets, and online shops. However, you will need a prescription for melatonin sleeping tablets in the UK so, failing that, try a natural alternative like Montmorency Cherry instead.
• They should be taken at bedtime to reduce sleep latency – the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep.
• They help control your natural sleep-wake cycle, and are particularly beneficial if you have jet lag or are doing shift work.
• No evidence suggests that using melatonin comes with serious risks.

Valerian Root: Valerian root is a natural relaxant made from the root of a plant.

• Valerian root-based sleep tablets are found online, in drug stores and health food stores
• Taken before bed to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
• They work best in menopausal women with sleep disturbances, often related to hot flashes and night sweats.
• People who have taken valerian root for extended periods then stopped suddenly may experience withdrawal symptoms.

Sedating Antihistamines: Antihistamines are primarily used for treating allergies.

• This type of sleeping tablets can only be bought from a registered pharmacy or an online pharmacy like UK Meds.
• Some OTC sleeping tablets (such as Nytol) contain sedating antihistamines – diphenhydramine, doxylamine, and promethazine, which may be slow to act and can become less effective the more you take them.
• They are known for their sedating properties, which can make you feel drowsy and sleepy when administered for about two weeks.

Hypnotics: Hypnotics are a group of sleeping tablets like zopiclone and zolpidem (also known as the “Z” drugs), which are only bought by prescription.

• They work on receptors in the brain to slow down the nervous system to treat insomnia and to treat movement disorders that interrupt sleep such as restless legs syndrome.
• This type of sleeping tablet is only suitable for short-term use, as it can have serious side effects such as daytime drowsiness, memory and balance problems, and potential addiction.
• It is only prescribed for long-lasting insomnia if other treatments have been tried unsuccessfully.

Benzodiazepines: Benzodiazepines are another class of sedative-hypnotics, which can also help treat sleep disorders.

• They include Xanax, Valium, Librium, and Ativan, which are minor tranquilizers with anti-anxiety and muscle relaxant properties.
• They should be used for a short period, and not as continuous treatment as they can have serious side effects like lethargy, confusion, and dependency.

Summary: What Sleeping Tablets To Take?

In brief, If you’re experiencing disturbed sleep it is always best to start with the most natural option like herbal sleeping tablets such as Paso Sleep Capsules. These will work with your body to help you relax and improve overall sleep quality with natural ingredients. Moreover, this is the best option if you are buying sleeping tablets online.

Stronger options that contain synthetic ingredients will work more quickly, but should only really be used on a short-term basis. As said, with stronger options, there is a risk of forming a dependency where continuous use can have serious side effects and impact your long-term health and wellness.

If your sleeping problems persist or you are going through a particularly tough time, do visit your doctor or pharmacist to see what they would suggest of the stronger alternatives available.
