Sleep problems and snoring can range from minor inconveniences or embarrassments to serious health challenges. If either of these issues affects you, talk to your doctor about it. Often, these difficulties can be overcome with minor fixes, but sometimes, a sufferer will need more help.

For snoring problems, there are a number of over-the-counter pharmacy products that are relatively non-intrusive and can help, or you may just need to take more serious action - once again, consult your physician. For insomnia, treatments range from cognitive therapy (take a good look at our book selection for this) to natural therapies to prescribed medications. You and your health professional need to discuss these options if insomnia is a problem for you.
