people neeeeed your vioce here !!!

akuler is definitely right. I don't think that you can get real sleep using sleeping pills. My brother used to take some and said he didn't dream which I think is very unhealthy. Here is one informational website I found: http://www.sleepstudylabs.com/sleeping_pills.html "The chemicals in sleep medication are not only addictive, but they also decrease brain cell activity during the day." Another good website to check out is: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/sleeping-pills-worth-sleep.html and some ways to sleep more naturally can be found at: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/natural-deep-sleep-tips.html

Hi Novelist, I do not believe in chemical medicine can make us happy for a lot period. It might solve our problem in short term but for long term its do more harm then good. If you always need to take your sleeping pills before you sleep, I believe you could not sleep without it. And taking a chemical product always give a problem to your body especially your heart. There are a lot more safe ways to get a good sleep and exercise is one of it. Not only you can sleep well at night because your body is tired but also good for your health. And you can be more happy that ways. The problem with these days live is we always want a fast result without have to work hard for it.

When everything is natural, that is the real life we enjoy. When artificial can take over, then it has to be met its side effects. Sleep is a natural habit of any living being. People lose their natural way of sleeping out in stress, pain and burdened worries.. Just have a hot milk at night and melody music, no one needs a sleeping pill rather!

That statement doesn't even support itself! It's comparing people who sleep well against having to take sleeping pills! Yes, it's true people who sleep well do feel more content, and that's because it's all naturale. But people who take sleeping pills are taking them because they can't do naturally what they're supposed to do when their body runs out of energy. Sleeping pills will not in any way cause any contentment at all. Maybe achieve rest for the body because after all that's what it does is to help people go to sleep. Contentment is a whole other thing. The body has to achieve it's 'Rest Quota' first before it can actually get any contentment.

To philosophize literally that statement, well yes..but it's obviously illogical! Yes, sleeping is one of the best ways for contentment, because the effect of sleeping good is good health, and good health makes us do things most of the time right, increases our brain functions, physical strength that would make us live a good life, and that gives us happiness... Logically, if you take sleeping pills just to get yourself to sleep, only means that you're not anymore in good shape to naturally fall asleep.and often than not, pills have some side effects to our body. That's why those pills must be prescribed properly by doctors.so, it's not necessary true that sleeping pills is a way for happiness..IS IT THE NATURAL WAY OF SLEEPING THAT IS ONE OF THE WAYS FOR HAPPINESS! AND TO REVERSE THIS STATEMENT: IT'S THE HAPPINESS AND PEACE OF MIND THAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO SLEEP GOOD!AND THE BENEFITS OF A GOOD SLEEP, ARE HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT. IT'S A CYCLE!

i totally agree to what that statement says. if you could sleep on your own. that means there are no factors to consider why you are not sleeping well. for me, insomnia is not a disorder but a problem. a problem in the person's mind that keep on going around and around that makes "insomniacs" awake for the whole night. hahaha. for me, if you got no problems, or if you are not bothered of something. you won't need things liek sleeping pills in order to sleep. only an opinion. peace!! :)

hi novelist, i am happy to say thanks that you are actively participating in mylot,so i can meet you in mylot regularly,i have a good sleep every night,within five minutes of time i am going to sleep ,when ever i go to bed,till now i did not use sleeping pills for going to sleep,i suggest not use the sleeping pills,once again thanks for actively participating in mylot

Look at it this way. For people suffering from insomnia, sleep pills will make them sleep finally, thus making them contented. Of course, we shouldn't always count on medication, or else we would soon be dependent on it, which is not good in the long run.
