NBC News (5/11, Carroll) reports research published in BMJ Open indicates that “prescription sleep medications can help women struggling with occasional insomnia but probably won’t help with chronic sleep problems.” The study, using “two years of data from nearly 700 middle-age women,” found “that long-term use of medications such as Ambien [zolpidem], Lunestra [eszopiclone] or some anti-anxiety prescriptions didn’t help women sleep better in the long run compared to women who didn’t use prescription pills.”
