Description

Many out-patients with mental disorders are prescribed hypnotics at mental hospitals.Although we explain in detail how hypnotics should be taken when they are first prescribed,we do not always explain their use to patients who have been taking hypnotics for a long-time.In consideration of this situation,we performed a questionnaire survey on the actual usage of hypnotics by out-patients,with the purpose of raising awareness of the proper way of using them.<br>The total number of patients responding was 161,78.9% of whom went to bed within 30 minutes of taking hypnotics,and 74.5% fell asleep within 60 minutes.The average total sleeping time was 7.1 hours and 71.4% felt that hypnotics were effective.On the other hand,21.1% did not go to bed for more than 30 minutes after taking hypnotics.Based on these findings,we should advise patients on the use of hypnotics more frequently.
