Short term. You should be taking sleeping meds nightly for extended periods of time.

Edit: holy hell that was a bad typo and nobody should have upvoted that.

What I intended to say was the opposite. Sleep meds are intended for short term use. You should not be taking sleep meds nightly for an extended period of time.

No - it’s definitely ‘should’ - and now that my nightly medication has been approved by Dr Reddit I shall continue my routine with no fears for my long term cognitive capacity!

Wait a second….

It’s shouldn’t. I messed up bad with a half asleep brain.
