Treatment for insomnia can involve a combination of behavioral, psychological, and pharmacological approaches:
1. [Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)](): This is considered the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. It focuses on changing sleep habits and behaviors through various techniques. 2. Medications: Prescribed medications such as benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepine sleep aids, and melatonin receptor agonists can be effective but are usually recommended for short-term use due to potential dependency and side effects. 3. Lifestyle Changes: Improving sleep hygiene by maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding caffeine or electronic devices before bedtime can greatly improve sleep quality.
