I have insomnia. Can medications cure insomnia?

1 Answer

Sleeping pills do not cure insomnia, just as pain medicine does not cure pain. They do cover up the problem for a while. Insomnia is a symptom with many causes and investigating the causes and addressing them is the way to fix poor sleep. A psychologist or physician specializing in sleep disorders should be able to provide effective guidance.
