NOVA episode on sleep and insomnia is well worth your time

Thanks. I have trouble with meds - was on just about every one available for years as a guinea pig. I get over the top side effects. Looks like zolpidem is out for me since I had sleep walking issues with it. They aren't actually sleeping pills, more like hypnotics.

There is so much good research going on with PTSD and MDMA and psychedelics under the care of professionals. I have been following the development for years since, while I had trouble with Big Pharma drugs, I never had trouble with psychedelics when I was in college. There was an ex-soldier interviewed on NPR talking about his guided therapy with MDMA. One session and he got off anti-depressants. They allow the patient to break the physical link between the memory and the emotional experience. I hope you can look forward to a literal cure.
