Maybe you sleepless nights? Because having trouble sleeping, a lot of people taking sleeping pills. However, be careful, the scientists warn of sleeping pills can cause death.
Team of doctors led by Daniel Kripke of the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center Viterbi Family in La Jolla, California, examined the medical records of more than 10,500 adults, average age 54 years living in Pennsylvania who underwent treatment with sleeping pills.
Research for nearly three years was also observed several types of sleeping pills prescribed by doctors, such as the diazepines (diazepam and temazepam), non-benzodiazepines (zolpidem, zopiclone and zaleplon), barbiturates and tranquilizers.
The researchers found that sleeping pills are prescribed 4.6 times more likely to die in a vulnerable period of two and a half years. In fact, those taking the pill for less than 18 pills per year still have the risk of death by 3.5 times compared to those with non-users of sleeping pills.
However, the higher the dose ingested, the greater the risks. People who take sleeping pills about 18-132 pills per year have a risk of up to 4.4 times higher death. And those who drank more than 132 pills a chance to die up to 5.3 times higher.
Overall, one in 16 users of sleeping pills was reported dead (638 from 10 531) compared with one in 80 non-users of sleeping pills (295 of 23 674 people).
Researchers explain the increased risk is independent of underlying health conditions, such as heart disease and lung cancer, depression, anxiety, and other factors, such as the use of cigarettes and alcohol. So, you are suggested to not take sleeping pills because of side effects!.
