Sleep Disorder, its Medications and their Vulnerabilities

Abstract

Sleep is a vital process towards maintaining a healthy life. But this may sometimes get disrupted due to various reasons. Reasons may include physical problems like obesity and respiratory, troubles; mental problems like depression and anxiety etc. or lifestyle choices like consuming excess of alcohol and also late night working practice. These disorders are broadly classified into three categories and drugs are prescribed accordingly. Also many over the counter medicines are available in the market, that have numerous side effects compared to the prescribed drugs. It is very important to diagnose the cause and the type of sleep disorder before taking any medicine.
