The answer came as soon as he asked me if I’d care for a glass of wine. “No, thank you,” I said. “I don’t drink.”

Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole!—The Rime of the Ancient Mariner More than one quarter of the U.S. population reports occasionally not getting enough sleep, while nearly 10% experience chronic insomnia.

This often leads to a reliance or even a dependence on prescription or non-prescription medications or herbs to help overcome sleep difficulties. In general, I urge caution in utilizing an approach founded upon medications or botanicals to be used in this manner; although, I do see a place for them.
