Answer to Question 1

In the long term, the following behavioral approaches have proven more effective than sleeping pills in treating sleep disorders:
 Relaxation therapy, which may involve progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, hypnosis, or meditation
 Cognitive therapy, which challenges misconceptions about sleep and helps shift a poor sleeper's mind away from anxiety-inducing thoughts
 Stimulus control therapy, in which individuals who do not fall asleep quickly must get up and leave their beds until they are very sleepy

Additional behavioral approach that might be listed:
 Sleep restriction therapy, in which sleep times are sharply curtailed in order to improve sleep quality
