Firstly, according to the reading, if people have trouble sleeping, they can buy some over the counter medicine (OTC) in a store instead of going out to see a doctor; OTC medicine, according to the reading passage, is safer than prescription sleep aids; on the contrary, the professor argues in the listening passage that it is necessary for people to see a doctor if they have trouble sleeping for more than a month. The doctor will help them to make a personal plan, such as changing the sleep habits to solve the problems. Secondly, in the article, the author states that alcohol and wine can help insomniacs go to sleep quickly sometimes, which conflicts with the view proposed in the lecture that sleep medication should not be used with alcohol or drugs. In addition, the lectures warns that sleep aids should not be taken when driving, operating machines or even taking a bath. Futhermore, the speaker encourages insomniacs to ask their doctors about how to take the sleep aids, when to take them, and how long to take them. To further contradict the reading passage, the lecture claims that drinking alcohol may increase the number of times that people may wake up during the night. Finally, the writer discusses in the passage that insomniacs should only use the prescribed sleep aids as a last resort because they are not safe and because these medications will cause addiction and dependency. Conversely, the speaker in the listening passage refutes this claim arguing that the newer sleep aids are less addictive than than the older ones. However, the lecture asserts that prescribed sleep aids should only be taken at the direction of a healthcare professional. In conclusion, based on the discussions demonstrated above, the points made in the lecture differ from those made in reading passage.
