One Out of Thr.ee Suffers
Roughly one-third of the population experiences some type of sleep
problem. Statistics indicate that about half of all of those who have insom­
nia, the medical term for sleep di turbances. take some type of medi£ine
for the problem at some point in their lives. According to a recent artic,le
in Pllarmacy Times, physicians write more than 20 million prescriptions
each year for hypnotics - leep medicines.
Nonpre ription sleep-aids may be helpful in relieving cenain types of
insomnii. The Food and Drug Admini tration (FDA) recently determined
that three leep-aid product ingredients are sQ/e and effective for general
usc. These ingredients are �oxyla�ne succinate, dipherahydramine hy­
drothloride, and diphenhydramine citrate. Alcoholic bever�ges should
be avoided when taking prescription or nonprescription sleep-aids.
Before using a leep-aid consider these uggestions:
• Avoid Slimulan s�h as caffeiM nd nicotine.
• Avoid daytime naps and heavy meals just prior to bedtime.
• Relax pior to bedtime by reading or lislCning to easy music:
