Have you heard about DSPS (delayed sleep phase syndrome)? Many haven't, yet there are companies out there acutely aware of DSPS and actively developing products to help combat the problem.

As insomnia cures go, there's nothing like popping a pill and being temporarily relieved. However, the moment we take these pills we are instantly beginning to build a tolerance to the effects from these prescribed drugs, and unless they are used strictly for short term relief, the insomniac runs a serious risk of addiction/dependence on said medication.
