Medications for Insomnia

Medications used to help with falling and staying asleep.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it hard for people to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both. This can lead to not getting enough sleep or having poor-quality sleep, leaving you feeling tired and unrefreshed in the morning. There are two main types of insomnia: acute, which is short-term and often caused by stress or life events, and chronic, which lasts longer and may be linked to other medical issues or lifestyle factors. Symptoms of insomnia include lying awake for a long time, waking up too early, and feeling as if you haven't slept at all. Insomnia can also lead to daytime sleepiness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, counseling, and a range of prescription medications that can help improve sleep. It's important to talk with your doctor about which treatment option is best for you.
