I agree. And it's annoying to see the same articles published about it again and again. "Just follow these simple rules and you'll sleep just fine." What garbage. By far the best book I've read on the subject is Insomniac by Gayle Greene. It's not a how-to book on sleeping. Greene is a lifelong insomniac, and she writes about her struggles with insomnia and the science of sleep.
There is a sleeping pill with a completely different mechanism of action that might be available by the end of the year. It's called suvorexant. Instead of inducing sleep by increasing GABA levels, it's an orexin receptor antagonist, so it turns off wakefulness.
