Relying solely on medication for treating insomnia may pose several drawbacks and risks. Medications often come with side effects such as drowsiness, dependency, tolerance buildup requiring higher doses over time, and withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation. Long-term use of sleeping pills may not address the underlying causes of insomnia but rather provide temporary relief without addressing behavioral or cognitive patterns contributing to sleep disturbances. On the other hand, holistic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offer long-lasting benefits by targeting root causes through behavior modification techniques that promote healthy sleep habits. While medications may provide immediate relief in some cases, they do not offer sustainable solutions compared to CBT which focuses on changing thought patterns and behaviors related to sleep.
