Will doctors prescribe sleeping pills for exremely light sleepers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Sleeping pills are usually best used temporarily, because otherwise you can become dependent on them. Newer ones interfere less with the quality of your sleep, but you can still have problems stopping them. There are natural ways to help deepen your sleep; look up sleep hygiene improvement for suggestions.
