Drugs are Dangerous Efforts to overcome insomnia by the means of drugs are usually unsatisfac- tory and dangerous. Many sleep-pro- ducing drugs are habit-forming. They should be avoided except when pre- scribed by a physician. A warm bath, head with cool water before going to bed are safer remedies.
