What are the common sleeping pills used for insomnia? When should they be used and what should you look out for when using sleeping pills? We address these questions and more with the help of Prof Wallace Mendelsen who also discusses the history of using substances to help with sleep, which puts current practice in perspective.
Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep.
