Tens of millions of Americans cannot get a "good night's sleep." These sleep-deprived individuals may reach for a variety of drugs that have short-term benefits, with long-term disadvantages. The brain is not easily fooled by a simple chemical that may focus on a relatively distinct and small number of tissue receptors. The health costs of side effects from drugs used for sleep are a major problem. This problem is underexplored in medicine and the use of over-the-counter sleeping drugs is a particular concern. To seek alternative approaches with safe and effective approaches to gain restful sleep has become a major health initiative for the nation. This approach is well described in this book.
