Kids are popping sleeping pills at an alarming rate to help counter their increasingly stressful lives and demanding parents, a new medical study reveals.
The use of prescription sleep aids among children ages 10 to 19 skyrocketed 85 percent from 2000 to 2004, according to new research by Medco Health Solutions.
And there was a 223 percent increase in the money being shelled out by parents and kids to pay for these drugs, including Ambien, Sonata and Rozerem.
