In Australia, chronic insomniacs could fill the Melbourne Cricket Ground ten times over. Sleeping difficulty is the third most common problem reported to General Practitioners.
Up to 5% of the population regularly takes prescription medicines to help them sleep, with many more using alcohol and over the counter medicines to help curetheir insomnia. Do these methods work? The answer is, very rarely.
