Medications and supplements can be used to treat insomnia, such as over-the-counter sleep aids, prescription sleep medications, melatonin, and herbal supplements. However, these should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as they may have side effects and risks.
Therapy is an effective treatment option for insomnia, especially for chronic insomnia caused by mental health disorders or behavioral factors. At Shine Mental Health in Fresno, CA, we offer various therapy options, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), sleep restriction therapy, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness meditation.
Natural remedies can also be used to treat insomnia, such as improving sleep hygiene (e.g., creating a relaxing sleep environment, avoiding screen time before bed), exercising regularly, practicing good nutrition, and using relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation).
