❓ What are some effective treatments for insomnia?

There are several treatments that can help manage insomnia, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): This type of therapy helps change negative thoughts and behaviors that affect sleep. According to a study, CBT-I is an effective treatment for chronic insomnia.
• Sleep Hygiene: Improving sleep habits like sticking to a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine late in the day, and creating a comfortable sleep environment.
• Medications: For short-term insomnia, your doctor may prescribe sleep medications. However, these are typically not recommended for long-term use due to potential side effects and dependency risks.
