Abstract

Hypnotics, commonly prescribed medications for sleep disorders, have seen a rise in overuse in recent years. This essay examines the psychological perspective on hypnotics and their potential for overuse. The research methodology involves a comprehensive review of literature from reputable journals on the effects of hypnotics on psychological well-being, the reasons behind their overuse, and the possible consequences of long-term use. The results reveal a concerning trend of over-reliance on hypnotics without proper consideration of psychological factors. The discussion explores the implications of this overuse and the need for a more holistic approach to treating sleep disorders. In conclusion, it is evident that addressing the psychological aspects of hypnotic use is crucial in preventing overuse and promoting better overall health.
