JAMA: 2013-02-20, Vol. 309, No. 7, Author in the Room™ Audio Interview

Interview with Daniel J. Buysse, MD, author of Insomnia. Summary Points:

Insomnia is a frequent comorbid condition that increases costs and worsens outcomes.
Insomnia is a chronic condition for which there are effective and widely available acute treatments (medications) and effective but hard-to-find long-term treatments (behavioral).
Need to consider other health professionals such as nurses, physician assistants, and behavioral health managers (smoking, obesity, diet, exercise, sleep/insomnia).
