Benzodiazepines and Sleep Architecture: a Systematic Review

CONCLUSION: Variations in NREM and REM sleep may lead to deficits in concentration and working memory, and weight gain. The increase in stage 2 of NREM sleep may lead to a subjective improvement of sleep quality with no awakenings. BZDz should be prescribed with zeal and professional judgment. These patients should be closely monitored for possible long-term side effects.PMID:34145997 | DOI:10.2174/1871527320666210618103344
