A member asked:
How many days does it take for sleep medicine to develop tolerance? 10 days or 15 days or one month or more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is NO magic formula to predict how long it will take to develop tolerance to daily sleep medication, but it will emerge in all preparations. This is why it is best to focus on a Sleep Hygiene Program, which your doctor can instruct over a brief visit, and use sleep medication only over several days to a few weeks at most.
