The National Sleep Foundation's 2002 Sleep in America poll showed that 58% of adults in the U.S. experienced symptoms of insomnia each week. Insomnia is defined as having problems with either falling or staying asleep. Insomnia is often viewed as a symptom of another medical condition but this is not the case with primary insomnia.
Because of this fact The Patients Voice have decided to launch a research blog into the effectiveness of the different treatments available for insomnia?
We are most interested into ways you have explored to treat and cure your insomnia. This may include homeopathic remedies, sleeping tablets, counselling or just changes in lifestyle?
Common medications include temazepam, flunitrazepam, triazolam, flurazepam, midazolam, nitrazepam and quazepam. In recent years using Melatonin has become more popular rather than the Benzodiazepines and other sedatives.
We are particularly interested in the following questions which help us understand the background to your treatment
Obviously these are just suggestions so please bring up anything you think other readers of the blog will find of interest. Please do include links to any site you have found helpful.
Remember, a blog is really like having a conversation with lots of people at the same time and so please check back on the blog to see what others have said so that if you would like to add to their thoughts you can.
To take part, all you need to do is scroll down to the comments area, type in a nickname of your choice and then put your comments into the box. We look forward to reading your comments and, of course, thank you very much for your input!

The Patients Voice The Patients Voice is one of the many patient-focused services from Healthcare Landscape. Healthcare Landscape is a medical and healthcare research company, which conducts interviews with all the different kinds of people involved in the healthcare process. They range from patients and their carers, to medical professionals like nurses, pharmacists, physicians and academics. Our mission is to find out what they think and what their experiences have been.
We can interview over the web, at home or at a special research facility; depending on what type of study it is, the choice is often yours. We also run patient diaries and blogs, so you can air your views as honestly and informally as you like. We want to ensure that you have access to the best research experience, and in turn, our clients will learn from your story. Our clients are quite diverse. They range from pharmaceutical or medical device companies, to charities and government bodies. The Patients Voice is open to anyone in the world who wants to give an opinion and would like to try to make a difference. This forum gives you power by allowing you to get YOUR VOICE HEARD.
You should always consult your physician regarding any medical issues. While we attempt to make sure the information on this site is as accurate as possible consulting a medical professional is always to be advised.
