What types of sleep medications do adults use to treat their sleep disorders? 5. What are their experiences with driving drowsy? 6. What are the public’s opinions about sleep-related policies? 7. What are the effects of the September 11 tragedy on Americans’ sleep habits? What follows are the results of the 2002 “Sleep in America” Poll. (Author/publisher)
