In medicine, sleep initiation and maintenance disorders, including insomnia, are "disorders characterized by impairment of the ability to initiate or maintain sleep. This may occur as a primary disorder or in association with another medical or psychiatric condition."[1][2]

Treatment

Non-drug treatment

Indirect evidence suggests a warm bath may help.[3]

Exercise, perhaps by raising body temperature, may help.[3]

Medications

GABA agonists

These medications are agonists of the GABA-A receptors.

BZ1 selective agonists

In treating persistent insomnia in adults, 6 weeks of zolpidem 10 mg nightly along with weekly sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy followed by 6 months of monthly sessions and no medications yielded the most remission of insomnia in a randomized controlled trial.[4]

In geriatrics, the benefits of zolpidem for insomnia to not clearly exceed the drug toxicity.[5][6]

Melatonin agonists

Ramelteon is one available agonist.

Tasimelteon can help transient insomnia due to shift changes related to employment..[7]
