While American Academy of Sleep Medicine President Dr. Mary Susan Esther is surrounded by cutting-edge insomnia drugs, she prefers behavioral brain-mellowing: Before bed, she avoids alcohol ("causes sleep disturbances") and OTC antihistamines ("you're drowsy the next day").

I take an hour, and it always keeps me from tossing and thinking about work once I get into bed."
