Question: If lifestyle modifications and other non-pharmacological treatments are not effective at improving sleep, medications may be needed. Examples of medications that may be used for treating insomnia include benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, antihistamines, and melatonin-receptor agonists. However, these medications should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as they may lead to side effects and may be habit-forming.

It is important to note that these medications may not be effective for everyone, and they should be tapered off slowly to minimize the risk of withdrawal symptoms. In addition, some people may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address the underlying psychological issues that may be causing the insomnia.
