چکیده
Sleep is a natural human behavioral state that is crucial for survival, maintenance of health and consolidation of newly learned information. It also normally includes dream cycles that have been popularly characterized based on the occurrence of “REM” and “nonREM” sleep. Unfortunately, 25 to 35 percent of American adults suffer from transient insomnia and 10 to 15 percent suffer from chronic insomnia. Insomnia not only affects quality of life but also causes poor memory, impaired work performance and productivity, reduced concentration and increased risk of accidents.
