    Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are commonly used sedative and hypnotic drugs. Barbiturates work by enhancing GABA activity at GABA-A receptors, while benzodiazepines bind to a separate site on GABA-A receptors to produce similar sedative effects. 'Z drugs' like zolpidem are non-benzodiazepine hypnotics that have advantages over benzodiazepines like less daytime drowsiness. Sedative and hypnotic drugs can disrupt normal sleep architecture by decreasing sleep onset latency, suppressing REM sleep, and reducing overall sleep time.
