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.
