Insomnia is a common sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking earlier than desired despite having enough opportunity to sleep. Short-term insomnia may occur during periods of stress, while chronic insomnia lasts for several months and may require medical evaluation.
Poor sleep can affect mood, memory, concentration, productivity, and overall quality of life. Persistent sleep problems should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
Medicines such as Temazepam, Nitrazepam, and Diazepam may be prescribed for short-term treatment of insomnia. These medicines act on the central nervous system and require careful medical supervision because they may cause dependence if used for prolonged periods.
Zolpidem, Zopiclone, and Eszopiclone are commonly prescribed for short-term management of insomnia. These medicines help promote sleep but are intended for limited-duration use under medical supervision.
Over-the-counter sleep aids containing Diphenhydramine or Doxylamine may provide temporary relief for occasional sleeplessness. These medicines may cause next-day drowsiness and should be used according to product labeling.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone involved in regulating the body's sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin supplements may be helpful for jet lag, shift work, or certain circadian rhythm sleep disorders when used appropriately.
Medicines such as Trazodone, Mirtazapine, and Amitriptyline may sometimes be prescribed when insomnia occurs alongside certain other medical conditions. These medicines require a prescription and should only be used under medical supervision.

Some over-the-counter sleep aids and melatonin supplements are available without a prescription. Prescription medicines such as benzodiazepines and Z-drugs require a valid prescription and are dispensed only after verification.
The onset of action varies depending on the medicine. Some prescription sleep medicines may begin working within 15 to 30 minutes, while melatonin is generally taken 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Follow the directions provided by your healthcare professional.
