<em>Sleeping disorders influence a significant portion of the global population, affecting overall wellbeing and daily functioning, Benzodiazepines namely bdiazepam and lorazepam behave as central nervous system depressants. They increase the effects of gamma_ amino butyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that causes relaxation as well as sedation. Non _ benzodiazipine hypnotic (Z _ drug) namely zolpidem and zaleplon target GABA receptors and induce a calming effect along with promotion of sleep. Z _ drugs are helpful for treating insomnia.

Muscle relaxants are frequently prescribed for a very few conditions namely chronic pain, Muscle spasms and certain neurological abnormalities. An example for common Muscle relaxants is baclofenac, cyclobenzaprine and tizanide. If alcohol combines with Muscle relaxants, It can enhance dizziness and drowsiness also.

Natural products can act as potential GABA modulators, avoiding the undesirable effects of traditional pharmacology used for the inhibition of the central nervous system such as benzodiazepines (BZD). Phenolics, especially flavonoids and phlorotannins, have been considered as modulators of the BZD-site of GABAA receptors (GABAARs), with sedative, anxiolytic or anticonvulsant effects. However, the wide chemical structural variability of flavonoids shows their potential action at more than one additional binding site on GABAARs, which may act either negatively, positively, by neutralizing GABAAR

Abstract: Sedative and hypnotic drugs are central nervous system depressants primarily used to induce calmness, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep. These medications include benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and various non-benzodiazepine sleep aids, each varying in their mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety profiles. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam and alprazolam, enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor, resulting in sedative, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant, and anticonvulsant effects. They are commonly prescribed for anxiety disorders,

Other classes of medication (e.g., serotoninergic antidepressants) may be substituted for benzodiazepines based on diagnosis.

Abstract Alcohol, barbiturate and nonbarbiturate sedative-hypnotic drugs, and the benzodiazepine minor tranquilizers are a chemically heterogeneous collection of compounds that have a great deal of pharmacology in common. Their profiles of action include disinhibition of behavior and reduction of anxiety following ingestion of small doses, sedation and ataxia following administration of intermediate doses, and anesthesia and coma after taking larger doses. Alcohol, primarily because it lacks potency (relatively large doses are required to produce these effects), has no clinical application as

Abstract In the treatment of children and adolescents with anxiety disorders clinicians have a wide variety of pharmacologic options beyond the antidepressants (Shader and Greenblatt, 1995; Lydiard et al., 1996; Riddle et al., 1999). The benzodiazepines (BZs), with their favorable safety profile and quick onset of action, are attractive alternatives for the treatment of acute anxiety. While the clinical effectiveness of buspirone has not been proven in children, buspirone is used alone or in combination with other drugs in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

The darker side of these drugs is that all can induce physical dependence with a characteristic and sometimes life-threatening withdrawal syndrome. In addition, they are often agents of addiction; alcoholism is a prime example. Further uniting these drugs is the relatively recent recognition of a common mechanism of action.

Drug withdrawal has long been considered a key symptom in the diagnosis of alcohol and substance use disorders. In this chapter, it is also conceptualized as a major motivational factor that drives compulsive drug taking. Drawing from the negative emotional components of withdrawal, termed hyperkatifeia (i.e., the negative emotional and motivational signs of withdrawal), the hypothesis here is that withdrawal sets up another major source of reinforcement—namely, negative reinforcement—for drug seeking in substance use disorders. From the perspective of the hyperkatifeia phenotype, withdrawal t
