Abstract:
Insomnia is a costly health problem, where management has remained suboptimal despite advances in the understanding and treatment of the condition. This article provides an overview of the evidence-based treatment options of insomnia, looking at short-term and long-term therapeutic outcomes for cognitive behavioral therapies and pharmacologic therapies. Key issues of treatment delivery and implementation are highlighted at the patient and health system levels, and novel approaches for combining and sequencing treatment to maximize therapeutic outcomes for insomnia are discussed. The impact of recent updates of major clinical guidelines and future research directions for the field are discussed.
