| The risk-benefit balance of hypnotic medications remains an area of great clinical uncertainty. Hypnotics use may confer risk for over-sedation, psychomotor impairment, cognitive decline, accidents, injuries, forensic and behavioral problems. On the contrary, poor sleep quality also introduces some adverse impact on health, especially in individuals with comorbid physical illnesses. Although the general rule of thumb for hypnotics use stands as usual, it has been argued its generalizability under some specific circumstance. Dr. Chen will provide a review on the safety issue of hypnotic use and will suggest a more practical approach regarding the concerns of prescribing hypnotics.
