Q&A
Can a person become addicted to sleeping pills?
Yes and no. There are a few medications used for sleep that can be addictive. However, most modern sleep medications are not addictive, at least not in the traditional sense of "addiction". Most modern sleep medications can become habit-forming, so that when a person stops taking the drug it can be more difficult to fall asleep for a time. This does not happen to everyone, however. And, in most cases, if it does occur, that effect will disappear with time off of the medication.

Just a thought...
If your insurance policy has a high deductible or co-pay, consider purchasing your CPAP supplies and submitting the bill to your insurance yourself. CPAP providers who are not contracted with insurance companies are able to offer lower prices, which in turn will lower the amount your insurance company will apply to your deductible/co-pay.
