Advances in the management of insomnia.

Advances in the management of insomnia. F1000Prime Rep. 2014;6:48 Authors: Pigeon WR, Bishop TM, Marcus JA Abstract Insomnia is highly prevalent and associated with considerable morbidity. Several very efficacious treatments, both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic, exist for the management of insomnia. New modes of delivery and new formulations of existing sedative-hypnotic medications have been introduced. Novel agents are still being developed and tested to arrive at a hypnotic that has limited side effects while still being efficacious. Innovations with respect to behavioral interventions, which are drastically under-utilized, have focused mainly on making these interventions more widely available through dissemination efforts, briefer formats and more accessible platforms.
