Sleep medicine is a medical specialtyor subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders. From the middle of the 20th century, research has provided increasing knowledge and answered many questions about sleep-wake functioning. The rapidly evolving field has become a recognized medical subspecialty in some countries. Dental sleep medicine also qualifies for board certification in some countries. Properly organized, minimum 10-month, postgraduate training programs are still being defined in the United States. In some countries, the sleep researchers and the physicians who treat patients may be the same people.
The first sleep clinics in the United States were established in the 1970s by interested physicians and technicians; the study, diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea were their first tasks. As late as 1999, virtually any American physician, with no specific training in sleep medicine, could open a sleep laboratory.
Disorders and disturbances of sleep are widespread and can have significant consequences for affected individuals as well as economic and other consequences for society. The US National Transportation Safety Board has, according to Dr. Charles Czeisler, member of the Institute of Medicine and Director of the Harvard University Medical School Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, discovered that the leading cause (31%) of fatal-to-the-driver heavy truck crashes is fatigue related, (though rarely associated directly with sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea), with drugs and alcohol as the number two cause (29%).Sleep deprivation has also been a significant factor in dramatic accidents, such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the nuclear incidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.

Mayo Clinic Minute: Is melatonin the right sleep aid for me?
We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping, but catching enough Zs isn’t always easy. Mayo Clinic Sleep Medicine Specialist Dr. Timothy Morgenthaler says adults should be shooting for seven to nine hours of shut-eye each night. Less than that, and your risk of cardiovascular problems, obesity, and even cancer can dramatically increase. But millions of Americans have trouble falling or staying asleep, so many turn to over-the-counter sleep aids. One of the most popular is melatonin.
In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Morgenthaler explains what melatonin actually does for the body, and when it's appropriate to use to improve sleep. Ian Roth reports.

How long do sleeping pills take to kick in?
How does half-life affect the medication?
What is the Tmax and why does it matter?
What is GABA?
GABA is an inhibitory brain chemical that slows down the brain. Think of GABA like spraying water on a raging fire. Benzodiazepines are antianxiety drugs that work through the GABA neurotransmitter to slow down the brain and relax you. Examples of benzos are Valium, Xanax and Klonopin to name a few.
Most of the medications that are FDA-approved for treating insomnia fall into a class called BzRA benzodiazepine receptor agonists.
Receptor agonist means the drug (agonist) activates a portion of a nerve cell in the brain (receptor), which triggers changes in the cell that affect one’s sleep. A BzRA is classified as any drug that binds to the benzodiazepine receptors in the brain whether they are benzodiazepines or not.
Why is this important? Because the non-benzodiazepine sleep aids hold certain advantages over the benzodiazepines that we will discuss shortly.
As of now, there are eight BzRA medications FDA approved for the treatment of insomnia. Five of these drugs are actual benzos, three aren’t. The three outliers— Ambien, Sonata, and Lunesta—are not benzodiazepines, even though they have similar effects on the brain.
Next concept is peak plasma concentration. If you look up information on a drug, it will tell you the time it takes for the drug to reach it’s peak plasma concentration, which is the maximum amount of drug in your blood stream. This time is called Tmax. The Tmax is time that you experience the peak effect of the drug – side effects included.
The time it takes to reach peak concentration or Tmax relates to how fast the medication works. So ideally, sleeping pills should have a short Tmax. In the sleeping pill world, between 1-2 hrs is about average.
These are some of the terms I’ll be using when I discuss the medications in future videos on medication reviews.
