[Homework]2012-10-06 给失眠症患者的健康建议
For the last 15 years, ** has struggled to get a good night sleep. She used to take sleeping pills that she bought over the counter from the chemist. But it didn't work for long. Her anxiety about becoming depentent on tablets just made her insomnia worse. She now uses an online sleep program that works for her and would never go back to medication.
I was in despair really and having taken pills and knowing I should be putting, chemicals in my body. I thought, seriously, a suicide, to be honest, because I couldn't see how I could drag on all my life, when I oversleeping.
Pharmacists are now worning insomnia suffers about the dangers of treating sleeping problem themselves. According to a new survey, 30% of people with insomnia have taken sleeping remedies for longer than a month without getting any medical advice. 14% have taken them for longer than 6 months and 18% have no idea how long they've been on medication.
If you have a long-term sleeping problem, if you last over a month, for the majority of those cases, that's possibly an underlying medical condition. And that could be a metal health problem , like depression. It might even be a physical sympton like asthma. So we like people to talk to pharmacists and get some really good advice about what an underlying condition might be.
Sleeping pills treat the symptons, but not the cores, Pharmacists are urging the one in three people who suffer from the insomnnia to seek help and only use pills as a last resort.
