Clients who have used sedatives for sleep for an extended period may experience withdrawal symptoms when the medication is stopped, leading to sleeplessness and anxiety. Additionally, long-term use of sedatives can cause daytime drowsiness as a side effect. Dizziness and blurred vision are less directly related to the cessation of sedative use for sleep.
