Psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, is the first-line treatment for insomnia. In some cases, patients may also require medications to aid relieving insomnia symptoms.
Melatonin agonists for insomnia include melatonin (a dietary supplement, not under FDA regulations) and ramelteon (Rozerem)—an FDA-approved medication for onset insomnia.
Nonbenzodiazepines (zolpidem (Ambien), zaleplon (Sonata), eszopiclone (Lunesta)) include sedative-hypnotics and CNS depressants, and as Schedule IV substances they require a prescription. They cause fewer side effects than benzodiazepines.
Orexin receptor antagonists (suvorexant (Belsomra), lemborexant (Dayvigo), daridorexant (Quviviq)) work on binding orexins regulating sleep-wake cycles.
89% of our patients achieve clinically significant results and notice long-lasting effects.

The Main Symptoms of Insomnia
Insomnia Diagnostics: What’s Involved
Chronic insomnia is diagnosed if symptoms are noticed at least three nights a week for three months or longer.
Primary chronic insomnia occurs because of severe or recurrent concerns, worries, or stressors. It may last for years and worsen because of stress.
Secondary insomnia is caused by underlying medical conditions, such as asthma, allergies, chronic pain, diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux disease, heart disease, or mental health issues.

Useful Articles About Sleep Disorders
Yes, insomnia is one of the most common symptoms occurring after the COVID-19 recovery, especially if the patient underwent a severe case of COVID. Insomnia is a symptom of long-term COVID and while its nature is not yet completely researched, generally, it can last up to 12 months.
Since chronic insomnia can develop as a response to coexisting physical or mental illnesses, the treatment always starts with a thorough evaluation of the symptoms and health history. Apart from managing the underlying conditions, using sleep medications and cognitive-behavioral therapy is commonly recommended. Also, relaxation therapy, physical activity, paradoxical intention therapy or sleep restriction, herbal and dietary supplements, and other treatment options can be helpful.
The best treatment for insomnia in older adults starts with setting up healthy sleep hygiene and assessing underlying health conditions that may cause sleep issues. After that, psychotherapy, medications, or a combination of approaches can be used.
How do doctors test for insomnia?
The clinical insomnia diagnosis is based on an overview of symptoms, sleep habits, and health history, including any underlying conditions. Sometimes, additional methods like a sleep diary, home sleep testing, blood tests, and sleep studies can be used.
