Research Notes on Sleep Disorder Medications


Medications used to treat sleep disorders can help to shorten the time necessary to fall asleep, increase total sleep time, decrease the number of times an individual awakes during sleep, and improve the overall sleep quality. Hypnotics, sedatives, and dopamine agonists are a few examples of the types of medications which may be prescribed to treat sleep disorders. Medications should be used with good sleep practices and should be used exactly as directed.1
