Treatment of Insomnia/Sleep disorder

Treatments of insomnia help reduce symptoms associated with many types of sleep disorders. Doctors generally prefer to use the least invasive treatment method possible. This includes simple lifestyle changes which are often good enough to significantly reduce or eliminate sleep disorder symptoms.
However, a doctor may recommend additional treatment methods for which may include the following:

1) Medications. They include over-the-counter or prescription formulations.
2) Relaxation therapies. Various techniques are available that can help patients to experience a greater sense of relaxation (e.g., meditation), which may improve sleep.
3) Psychotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy. These may lessen a patient’s stress and anxiety, and therefore reduce symptoms of sleep disorders.
4) Breathing devices. Patients with sleep apnea may require a form of mechanical breathing aid known as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
5) Surgery. Surgery to remove excess throat tissue may sometimes relieve symptoms associated with sleep apnea.
Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, engaging in regular exercise and avoiding substances that inhibit or disrupt sleep (e.g., caffeine, alcohol) are particularly helpful in treating sleep disorders, especially insomnia. This also may include establishing a consistent and relaxing bedtime routine.
