Six Weeks to Better Sleep

Six Weeks to Better Sleep

It's 3:00 a.m., and your mind is bubbling over with thoughts: I need to get to sleep. Why can't I just fall asleep? I'll screw up that presentation at work if I'm too tired. What if I get sick from all of this lack of sleep?

We've probably all had that internal insomnia-induced dialogue at one time or another. But for people with chronic insomnia, it's commonplace -- and they often reach for a prescription sleep aid.

Learn more about the science behind this claim and what other sleep experts have to say below.
