Fresh off his appearance at the Diamond Educational Conference in Lancaster, Chris parlays his conference presentation on managing insomnia in older adults into a lengthy podcast discussion. We talk about causes, the first line importance of non-pharmacologic treatments, and of course, the primary medications used for sleep onset and sleep maintenance and their clinical and cost considerations. We also digress briefly into insomnia management in the corrections environment and explore natural and OTC remedies. All this plus the latest medication news and a brief history of hypnotics.
