Solomon DH, Ruppert K, Habel LA, et al. - A retrospective cohort was conducted to explore the impacts of prescription sleep medications on patient-reported sleep disturbances. In this longitudinal cohort, researchers compared 238 women who started sleep medications with 447 non-users in the USA. The findings imply that women who initiated sleep medications rated their sleep disturbances similar after 1 and 2 years. The efficacy of long-term sleep medication use should be reassessed.
