Perhaps learning from the fate of stars such as Michael Jackson, he refuses to take sleeping pills to aid him with his Insomnia. His reason is of course being addicted to them which as we all know has led to more deaths than remedies.
His insomnia problem is so bad that he often hallucinates through lack of sleep but says that he won’t turn to medication to solve his restle
It has been common logic for most of us to play some music to sleep and while we sleep. The first is of course to lull us to sleep while the second is to relax us and get our minds as calm as possible. But it seems that the latter seems to do more than that.

Older women are believed to have more sleep issues than older men but did you know that they complain more? Weird as it may seem, sleep deprivation has been bugging both genders but of the two, a research finds that women are actually getting better sleep than men.
Through a study participants kept a sleep diary and wore a device called an actigraph on their wrists to determine their sleeping behavior and sleep patterns. And afterwards, the actigraphs themselves revealed that men actually had less sleep than women at 6 ½ hours. Women slept 15 minutes more.
