Answer 1

Well, many sleeping pills can cause dependency. If you stay on them for a really long time, it can get to the point where you can't sleep without them. It's happened to me. I honestly don't get tired at night unless I take my pill. I've stayed up until 2 a.m. and I still don't feel drowsy until I take my medicine.
