Temazepam, commonly known as Restoril, is a sleeping pill that is prescribed to patients. This drug is classified under a type of drugs called benozaphines, which are, “a large group of drugs with sedative and anxiety-reducing properties, which have been found valuable for a large number of uses” (UXL Encyclopedia of Drugs and Addictive Substances).

Since temazepam is classified as a benzodiazepine, I was curious as to what this type of drug does within the brain and its effects throughout the body.

The groupthink concept was supported throughout the Cascade exercise. I believed that the snowshoes were the most important item for my group’s survival I ranked them at number 1 on my list. However, when we were discussing the importance of the snowshoes nearly everyone in my group said weren’t important. Since almost everyone in my group said they weren’t important I stayed quiet and didn’t voice my strong opinions about the shoes. This could be attributed to our nature to conform to the group…

thinking too hard can put a strain on your brain,” over straining the brain can actually drain glucose from a key part of the brain. “Older people, in particular, are likely to notice the impact of straining the grey matter, the experts say” (Chapman).

If you need to get up and go, but…
