We have a major problem with benzodiazepines , which are medications designed for short-term use. When we abuse them in terms of quantity or duration, the body develops a tolerance, thus reducing their effectiveness and creating addiction. Therefore, if we stop taking them, the rebound effect and their impact on sleep are significant.
