Article Body:
For people suffering from sleeping problems like insomnia, pills and medications are seen as promising sleeping aids. However, sleeping pills and medications do not really cure or remedy the sleeping problem. Although medications seem to help the condition at first, these drugs do not really target the root or main cause of insomnia. With this reason, sleeping pills are only regarded as temporary or short term cure for insomnia. There are far more risks or side effects involved in the use of these medications compared to their benefits.
