The medications we use to assist sleep are not associated with any withdrawal or symptoms of dependence, therefore you may stop the medication at any time. They also won’t produce rebound insomnia which means your sleep won’t be worse than it was pre-treatment.
Insomnia is often treatable, however the key often lies with making sustainable changes to your daily habits and sleep hygiene. While medications will not address the underlying cause of your insomnia, they can help to repair your sleep schedule and regulate your sleep-wake cycle to coincide with night and day.
