What is the safest and effective sleeping pills here in the Philippines?

Is it bad to take sleeping pills every night?

• I've been taking Tylenol Simply Sleep sleeping pills for a couple of months now because I am a really bad sleeper. Before I started taking them I would always wake up throughout the night (like every hour or two). Even when I take them I still usually wake up once or twice before morning. I don't have any problems with drowsiness the next day and I can usually wake up and not be tired after sleeping for seven hours after taking the pills. I haven't been to a doctor about it because the pills are working well, but on the bottle it says to contact a doctor if sleeping problems persist. Is it bad to take these pills every night? Should I see a doctor about my sleeping problems?

• Answer:

  I would shy away from tylenol or other sleeping pill. You would get addicted to it and it has long term side effects. I had the same problem of sleep disorder during my college days. Those days were stressful, studies and then uncertainty about the future. I would suggest try to relax, read a book and try to divert your mind from things that might be troubling you. My favorite sleeping tactic was take a book and read it before going to bed. I am not talking about interesting murder mysteries but what I felt as boring history books.
