Concerned a little. U recommend!

Hello.   Sleeping pills can be a term used for sedatives and hypnotics. Sedatives are medicines used to calm down someone who is agitated, reduce anxiety of someone who is overly anxious, as added medication for seizure control, etc. Hypnotics may be used to induce sleep in someone who may not be able to fall asleep easily. Hence, there's no particular 'type' of person for whom the sleeping pills are used. They can be used for a variety of purpose. Benzodiazepine group of drugs are commonly used as sleeping pills. Valium (Diazepam) has been a popular name used for varied purposes such as insomnia, behavior control, etc. Sleeping pills have been found useful in a variety of psychological conditions as well, such as Depressive disorders, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, etc. While some people are prescribed sleeping pills for the variety of conditions as mentioned above, many people can take low doses of some of the sleeping pills for apparently day to day challenges such as fear of air travel, fear of closed elevators and crowded places, etc. I hope this helps your query.
