Sleeping pills are categorised as those with addiction potential. They can be taken under prescription for a very short period, max 2 weeks. Others which promote sleep via acting on neurotransmitters can be taken after consultation with a psychiatrist for longer duration depending on the condition. Consult an astute psychiatrist for remedy either in person or online. Good luck
