Sleep ManagementSleep Management

This category covers medicines that help with sleep. They are best for short-term use while the cause of poor sleep is addressed, since good sleep habits do the lasting work. Medicine here is a short bridge rather than the destination, and the durable improvement comes from what is causing the poor sleep.

Key points

  • Melatonin supports the sleep cycle, while sedating options act differently and carry dependence considerations.
  • Sleep habits, light exposure and timing do the durable work that medicine cannot.
