Have you ever taken sleeping pills?

Yes I have - when I have been sick or have been awake for hours, I will occasionally take a pill.
I believe they are helpful as long as you do not take them always,.
Currently I have a medical condition and am on steroids and drs have given me sleeping pills as it is important that I sleep. Steroids stop you sleeping!

No . . . but I have been given chloral hydrate in hospital a couple of times. (because we all know what bliss it is to try sleeping in a hospital)

No, I rarely have trouble sleeping, and when I do, I don't want to take anything for it.

40 years ago....but do not think I would again, unless my sleep pattern is very bad. As it is now, I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat! LOL.
I didn't like the feeling as I woke up, maybe they are different these days.
Don't think on the meds I am taking.....I would risk it.

I have taken sleeping tablets a couple of times whilst in hospital. On the whole, I sleep very well, so don't need to take them on a regular basis. I used to suffer from insomnia, but since going overseas last year, my body clock seems to have reset itself, and I have no trouble sleeping.

No never! Deep breathing helps. Breathe in deeply and slowly exhale taking longer time than inhalation.

No I've never taken sleeping tablets.

No, me neither.

No, never. I am lucky enough to sleep like the dead. You could stampede elephants through the house & I wouldn't wake up! And even if I ever did have trouble sleeping, I don't think I would take tablets. There are other methods I would try first (I dislike 'man-made' pharmaceutical drugs - give me natural every time).

I have never taken sleeping pills. I usually sleep pretty well. Sometimes I have a warm milk drink before bed if I think I may not fall asleep easily.
