Request an AppointmentThe Hidden Risks of Sleep Medication
Sleep medications may carry risks that most patients aren’t aware of. Research has linked benzodiazepine sleeping pills to a significantly increased risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Taking these medications for 3 to 6 months has been associated with a 32% increase in dementia risk, and taking them for more than 6 months has been linked to an 84% increase. Common examples of benzodiazepine sleep medications include Restoril (temazepam), Halcion (triazolam), and Prosom (estazolam). We encourage patients to review the side effect information on their own prescriptions and consider whether a natural alternative might be a better long-term option.
Restoring Sleep the Natural Way
Rather than masking sleep problems with medication, our clinic focuses on restoring your body’s own ability to achieve deep, refreshing, natural sleep. This approach not only improves sleep quality but may also help support cognitive health and reduce the long-term risks associated with sleep medication dependence, including supporting patients working to reverse early cognitive decline associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Sleep Restoration pairs well with our quantum neurology and pain management services, since chronic pain and nervous system dysfunction are common contributors to poor sleep. Call (512) 626-2332 to get started toward a great night’s sleep, or explore our full range of services.
