We believe that sleep medication should be the last resort. However, there are cases where medical treatment can make sense.

For most people, it’s important to be able to function during the day—and insomnia can make this particularly challenging. Medical treatment can help you stay in the game as you work to improve your sleep.

It is important, however, to have a therapeutic plan with the goal of eventually discontinuing medical treatment.

There are many sleep medications available, and some are safer than others. If you are considering medical treatment—or are currently taking medication, speak with your personal physician about safe approaches to treatment.
