This paper explores diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, and patient education in insomnia management, incorporating keywords like behavioral therapy, chronic insomnia, and general sleep disturbances. Discussion emphasizes the evolving landscape, where behavioral interventions, notably CBT-I, demonstrate lasting efficacy, urging a shift towards personalized and comprehensive solutions. Societal consequences, including reduced productivity, underscore the imperative for effective, diversified approaches beyond traditional medications. The intricate challenges of insomnia necessitate a nuanced, individualized approach, with behavioral therapies as pivotal components, aligning with keywords such as non-pharmacological therapy and pharmacological.
