Question by Lost OC Boy: When you take sleeping pills, is your body able to restore and rebuild during sleep like it usually does?
Or do the sleeping pills interfere with the different processes that take place during sleep?
And what about with anesthetic? Does the body behave like its asleep when you’re put under for surgery?

Your brain does a thing called REM for deep sleep. REM is Rapid Eye Movement. It takes at least 1.5 hours for the brain to reach REM. When too many thing are on your mind it may be hard to get to REM. Drugs are not the answer they are a temporary fix. Just find some time to relax. A good Dr will explain this to you.

yes your body gets used to it after awhile and takes years to get back on normal track. Many years of tough sleeping.
Your body still is in normal sleep mode when you take sleeping pills.
Under anesthetic you are unconscious all most paralyzed so that your body don’t move under the knife
