9 Million Americans Use Sleeping Pills, Says CDC

December 16, 2016 By John

Trouble sleeping? You’re not alone.

A 2013 study by the CDC shows over 9 million Americans use sleeping pills to get a good night’s rest.

And that study was three years ago.

Sleeping pills by the clock.
Are we too quick to reach for pills?

The proliferation of drugs to treat everything from dry eyes to receding hairlines has taken America by storm, and sleeping medications are no different. If you’ve got a problem, you can certainly find a pill to treat it.

What does the CDC’s study say about society? Are we too quick to rush to our doctors, asking for a prescription at the first sign of problems in our lives? Are pills the answer to conditions like insomnia, or are there better ways to get through those restless nights?

When you get a moment, check out the CDC’s findings in the article listed below.

Happy Friday!
