New Help for Chronic Insomnia

Many insomnia patients must make a nightly decision: whether to take a sleeping pill before enduring hours lying awake. Doctors say chronic insomnia can affect your physical and mental health, causing obesity, heart disease and major depression. Now a new study shows that talk therapy does help some people sleep better at night. Ruth Reader narrates for VOA's Melinda Smith.
