Insomnia: A Current Review

Sowjanya Naha et al. Mo Med. 2024 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder with pervasive effects on quality of life. The deleterious effects of insomnia are largely preventable with appropriate therapeutic interventions. Pharmacotherapy should be initiated in patients with inadequate response to CBT-I and tailored to comorbidities. Referral to a sleep medicine specialist should be considered in patients with a suboptimal response.
