FAA approves sleep aide for Pilots?

I'm just hoping they simply approve sleep for pilots in the new FAR, with longer required overnight rest and allowed naps at cruise.

Zannex is approved as well for pilots suffering from anxiety… no?

One technique to relax and go back to sleep if you awake in the middle of the night is to start at number 300 and count backwards.
