    Insomnia: Treatment before medication
    (2010-07-21) Smith, Caroline
    Insomnia is a common problem facing as many as half of American adults. It includes difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and early morning awakenings. It can be caused by medications, medical conditions, and poor sleep hygiene. Mild insomnia can be effectively managed by lifestyle changes and behavioral therapy. Pharmacologic therapy is appropriate for some patients as adjunctive therapy or for those with severe symptoms.
