Recent sleep research from literally every corner of the world has determined most people don’t sleep well, as many as 10% are either diagnosed with or complain of chronic insomnia,

Sonata, recently approved by the FDA, may put an end to groggy mornings for people with insomnia. It is specifically designed to have a short “half-life,” meaning that it stays active in the body for only a short time.

Provigil is intended for the treatment of narcolepsy—a condition characterized by excessive sleepiness during the day, even after a full night’s sleep.

The most popular prescription sleep drug now available is Ambien. It too has a short half-life, but not as short as Sonata’s, which means you can take Sonata later in the night than Ambien, without increasing your risk of morning hangover
