    Stacy Wiegman answered:
    It is possible to become physically addicted to some sleeping aids and to become psychologically dependent on others. If you take sleeping aids for more than three days, you may feel that you cannot sleep without them. Withdrawal symptoms may include nervousness, disturbing dreams, irritability, and anxiousness.
