Hypnotic Dependence

Hypnotic Dependence is a clinical condition characterized by the compulsive, persistent use of hypnotic medications to induce or maintain sleep, distinguished from other forms of substance dependence by its specific reliance on agents targeting the central nervous system for sedative-hypnotic effects, often resulting in tolerance, withdrawal, and impaired ability to initiate or sustain sleep without pharmacological intervention.
