Are you sleep deprived? Get  the zzz's  you need with these tips from integrative health expert Dr. Andrew Weil. Dr Weil shares what you need to know about sleeping right and making the most of your slumber time. Who knew getting a good night's sleep could be so simple?

I'm in love with Ambien, but my doctor wants us to break up. I concede that it's probably time. I've been using the prescription sleep aid, usually half (5mg) a pill, to squelch my sleep-onset insomnia for years. I've even slept with Ambien's colleagues, with mixed results: Sonata was too weak; Rozerem was perhaps too strong (I could barely keep my eyes open the following day); and Lunesta literally left a bad taste in my mouth. Over-the-counter supplements like melatonin and the ubiquitous Tylenol PM never impressed me either. Sure, Ambien works for me, but as many of us know, dependency can be a scary thing.
