Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barbiturates are a class of sedative drugs that are used to treat insomnia. They work by depressing the central nervous system, which can help patients to fall asleep and stay asleep. Methadone and opiates are not typically used to treat insomnia as they are primarily used as pain management. Amphetamines are stimulant drugs and would be counterproductive in treating insomnia.
