ARE SLEEP MEDICATIONS SAFE?

One wonders how many people actually use something to sleep at night. Whether it's a prescription, over the counter (OTC) or alcohol, nearly ALL of us will use something to help us sleep at some point.  Each of us is likely to suffer from at least one bout of insomnia  in our lifetime.
