Hypnotic medicines used to aid sleep can...

Correct answer

Increase reaction time.

Increase reaction time and cause drowsiness or impaired coordination. Effects depend on the medicine, dose, timing and person, and may persist the next day. Check the leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist when driving is appropriate; do not drive while impaired. Do not stop or change treatment yourself to enable driving, or combine it with alcohol. Taking it at night does not guarantee no effects the next morning.
