Side effects can be severe and include prolonged drowsiness the next day, confusion, forgetfulness, dry mouth,constipation and urinary retention. Sleeping pills can lead to drug dependency.
Sleeping pills should not be used in the long term.
'If you suffer from insomnia, changing your environment or your routine can often help. If you feel you must take sleeping pills, please research the brand you intend to use, weigh the risks of side effects, take only as directed, and remember, sleep medications are only intended for short-term use.'

Other drugs can have an amnesic effect. If that is the case, you can sleepwalk or forget conversations. Taking these sleeping pills in conjunction with alcohol can be very dangerous. If you have a few drinks you will probably be fine. But if you take in too much alcohol and get sick in the middle of the night, it is possible you would not wake up, causing a risk of aspiration.
Dependency on the aids can also develop. This can become problematic if you cannot sleep without the pills. It can also require you take higher dosages in order to attain sleeping. One way to avoid such dependency is to only take the sleeping pills every once in awhile so your body does not count on them to sleep every night.
