Abstract

Insomnia is a highly prevalent issue in today's society, causing significant daytime impairment and decrements in quality of life. While cognitive behavioral approaches are growing in popularity as a first-line treatment, pharmacologic interventions have a significant role in insomnia management. This article reviews a multitude of standard, off-label, and over-the-counter medications that are frequently used. More studies are needed to investigate the long-term usage of hypnotic medication, as insomnia is a significant public health issue.
