    Excellent and clear.........thank you Dr. Seheult Very clear oversight. My real [only critic ] is your remark about Valerian [ but being trained in the USA  i suppose with an-as it seems -an superb medical education I can understand your remark.] I was utterly surprised to hear you saying that it is not known how and which Valerian should be given [as I understood your language] For probably any other doctor in the world this may sound naive " or "not living in this world". I suppose you stated this because you may want to stay safe within the "norms" of the FDA but I hope you may consider reading up a bit about valerian with a huge amount of good literature and consider this as the first "trial treatment" before any other drug for insomnia. I have been a physician since 1970 but learned in the short time since I took a subscription on your site already a lot of useful tips  [and also saw virtually all your Covid-19 updates ] and highly appreciate your work and spreading of knowledge. By the way I sent you a few times material about an bit unknown herb /vegetable ]Portulaca ol.] which I have been using since the Mexican flu with excellent results and also during past year flu and  "corona" epidemic for may hundreds of patients, but really nobody seems to be interested in a cheap vegetable[with a long tradition].  In September of 2019 an article was published by Elsevierabout Portulaca by the Chinese[Taiwan] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378874119307433 I know you are extremely busy so please don't feel by any means obliged to react to my writing.  Thanks for everything.

    Excellent overview. Clearly explained. Can you please consider adding a section on how to approach, and treat, patients that have chronic insomnia and have been on sleep medication (e.g. benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepines) long-term. They often do not sleep well due to tolerance that developed to these medications, but it is very difficult to discontinue the sleep medication due to rebound insomnia which makes their situation worse. How do you deal with these patients?

    GERALDINE HARRON

    Clearly explained in easy to digest ways, thank you. Sleep hygiene will be enough for me because I understand now that it is simply a combination of my age and being in a Lockdown for the Pandemic. I am supporting other people during Lockdown, who I have tried to help with preparing themselves and their homes for sleep and relaxation, and now they will be promptly seeking expert advise with their complex and chronic factors.
