Using the wrong sleeping pills may make insomnia worse! The best solutions for 3 types of insomnia
1. Why do I sleep worse and worse after taking sleeping pills?
" I still wake up in the middle of the night after taking the medicine ", " I feel sleepier during the day ", " I sleep worse after stopping the medicine "... Many people think that sleeping pills are " universal sleeping pills " , but the actual effects are far from satisfactory, and they may even cause rebound insomnia.
📌 One of the reasons: the wrong medicine was chosen and used in the wrong direction . Sleeping pills are not " one size fits all " . Different drugs have different mechanisms of action and are suitable for different groups of people . If the drug's action does not match the type of insomnia, it will not only fail to solve the core problem , but may also interfere with the brain's natural rhythm .
2. Three common types of insomnia × recommended suitable drugs
💤 Type 1: Difficulty falling asleep
Symptoms : Tossing and turning after going to bed, unable to stop thinking, and taking more than 30-60 minutes to fall asleep.
Common causes : anxiety, over-activation of the nervous system, delayed melatonin secretion
Risk of medication errors : Using drugs that only maintain sleep (such as suvorexant) may not provide significant improvement
✅ Recommended drug: Lebrexan
• Fast onset of action (about 30 minutes)
• Inhibit the OX2R wakefulness pathway and effectively shorten the sleep latency
• Clinical data show that it can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep by 52% ( Ueno et al., 2022 )
💤 Type 2: Sleep maintenance disorder (easy waking at night)
Symptoms : It is not difficult to fall asleep, but the patient often wakes up 1-2 times or even more during the night, and then has difficulty falling asleep again.
Common causes : Oversensitive arousal pathways, overly strong responses to environmental stimuli, insufficient deep sleep
Risk of wrong medication : If you use melatonin or drugs that only help you fall asleep, it is easy to become " ineffective " in the middle of the night
✅ Recommended drug: Suvorexant
• Works throughout the night to help improve sleep continuity
• Blocking OX1R and OX2R reduces the frequency of nighttime awakenings
• Studies have shown that it can reduce nighttime awakenings by 43% ( Sun et al., 2021 )
💤 Type 3: Shallow sleep and poor recovery
Symptoms : Although there is no obvious awakening at night, the patient still has many " superficial " dreams throughout the night and still feels tired when waking up in the morning.
Common causes : insufficient deep sleep stages, disordered sleep structure, aging
Risk of incorrect medication : Misuse of strong sedatives (such as traditional sleeping pills) may further suppress REM/ deep sleep and have the opposite effect.
✅ Recommended drug: Dali Lexan
• Acting on OX1R & OX2R , optimizing sleep structure and increasing deep sleep ratio
• No impact on daytime cognition, no hangover
• Clinical trials have shown significant improvements in deep sleep quality and maintenance of next-day wakefulness ( Dauvilliers et al., 2022 )
3. The potential risk of using the wrong medicine should not be ignored
|
Wrong medication |
Potential consequences |
|
Mismatch in efficacy |
Symptoms do not improve, insomnia recurs |
|
Misuse of sedatives |
Daytime sleepiness, slow reaction time, and even risk of falls (especially in the elderly) |
|
Long-term use without medical advice |
Dependence and drug resistance are generated, and sleep structure is further disrupted |
|
Medication + no change in work and rest schedule |
The effect of the medication wears off and the sleep disturbance persists |
📌 The key to using sleeping pills correctly is not just " whether you take them " but " whether you take them correctly " .
4. Scientific medication advice: first classify, then choose the medicine
🔍 What type of insomnia do you have?
• Can't sleep: Choose Lebron
• Easy to wake up: Choose Suvorex
• Light Sleeper: Select Dali Leisheng
✅ Taking medicine should be combined with healthy habits :
• Keep a fixed schedule and avoid watching electronic screens before going to bed
• Avoid caffeine and late-night snacks
• Maintain a relaxed state before bed (such as meditation, foot bath)
📌 If you are still unsure about the type of insomnia you have, it is recommended that you evaluate your medication plan under the guidance of a doctor to avoid blind selection or long-term trial and error.
5. Conclusion: Sleeping pills are not “ the stronger the better ” , but “ the more accurate the better ”
What can really help you restore good sleep is not a stronger sedative, but a sleep aid program that is more suitable for your sleep type .
The new generation of sleeping aids adjust the brain's wakefulness pathways, allowing you to fall asleep naturally, maintain sleep, and improve deep sleep . Compared with traditional drugs, they are gentler and safer and are also suitable for long-term regulation.
📌 Only by taking the right medicine and changing your lifestyle can you truly break out of the vicious cycle of recurrent insomnia.
