Many receive sleeping pills and over-the-counter sleep aids, at an annual cost of over $40 billion. There are many different medicines, in what can seem like a bewildering variety. In this book, Dr. Mendelson draws on his experience of 40 years doing research and treatment of insomnia to explain how sleeping pills work, as well as their benefits and drawbacks, and alternative non-medicine approaches. Written with both scientific rigor and compassion, this lavishly illustrated book is designed for readers with non-technical backgrounds who would like to learn more-- and make better choices-- among the many treatments for insomnia.
