Abstract

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects the typical quality of life of people. Different treatment strategies are required for insomnia caused by specific factors, such as environment and genetics. Currently, the two main categories of insomnia treatments are cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and pharmacotherapy. However, each treatment has distinctive limitations. CBT-I lacks accessibility and certified facilitators, while pharmacotherapy is more prone to result in negative side effects, addiction, and physiological tolerance. To get over these limitations, it is necessary to come up with new alternative therapies to deal with insomnia effectively. This review is intended to summarize the different causes of insomnia and the latest existing treatments for insomnia. Based on previous studies, this study provides new ideas for future insomnia treatments.
