Sleep disorders, especially insomnia, are increasingly common due to rapid lifestyle changes, stress, irregular routines, and excessive use of electronic devices. The present study aimed to assess the usage pattern, awareness, and health risks associated with sleeping pills among individuals in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The study utilized both primary and secondary data collected through a structured questionnaire involving 50 respondents and an extended analysis of 100 respondents. Results revealed a high prevalence of inadequate sleep, along with significant use of sleeping pills without proper medical supervision. Commonly reported side effects included daytime drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and early signs of dependency. A considerable proportion of respondents showed limited awareness regarding the risks of long-term use of sedative medications. The study concludes that although sleeping pills offer short-term relief, their misuse may lead to serious health complications. Strengthening public awareness and promoting safe sleep practices are essential to reduce dependency and improve sleep health outcomes.
