The treatment of insomnia 

There are so many ways for the insomnia treatment, such as medication, behavioral or psychologic therapies, food remedies and acupuncture as well as Chinese herbal medicine that a patient can almost barely decide which one to select. Actually, different method adapts to a distinct syndrome.

If the insomnia is transient or short-term and sleep hygiene and non-medical treatments are not helpful, a physician may advise low-dose sleep medication to prevent the vicious cycle of psychophysiological insomnia.

For chronic long-term insomnia, however, drugs are rarely helpful. It should be emphasized that only behavioral or psychologic techniques can actually cure insomnia Fortunately, many people can improve their insomnia naturally by making some healthy choices in diet and lifestyle, such as eating foods that may induce sleep while avoiding bad habits that keep them awake at night. Foods high in thiamin, magnesium and tryptophan may be part of the solution.
