Sleep aids

I keep seeing these commercials on TV for “sleep aids”. One of the features is that they do not cause dependency.

I can’t even imagine why this would be an issue.

As someone who has had such severe bouts of insomnia that I couldn’t sleep for weeks, I can assure you, I’d prefer dependency. When you aren’t sleeping the world isn’t real. The exhaustion is a ubiquitous, the sun looks funny, and you will frequently forget what you are doing.

If a drug solves that problem, well, dependency isn’t so much of a problem.

Maybe that’s just me.
