  • Can a different pillow solve my snoring issue?

    A pillow is not likely to stop one's snoring. It is true that neck and head position do influence snoring. Neck extension and head elevation can be beneficial. Not sleeping on one's back with the head in the midline is helpful. The problem is that we tend move and turn in sleep, so a pillow is not expected to be effective, despite the hype. Dr. J READ MORE

  • Can sleep problems be corrected through therapy?

    Yes, insomnia can be treated quite effectively using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With CBT, many can avoid sleep medications. A medical evaluation for other sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, that may cause a sleep disturbance is wise. Ofer Jacobowitz, MD, PhD, FAASM READ MORE
