Treatment of insomnia is an important medical and social problem due to its widespread prevalence and significant negative impact on human health. The state of chronic cerebral hyper-activation, which has cognitive, electrophysiological and metabolic manifestations, plays an important role in the development of insomnia. The sleep disorder has been proven to be a risk factor for the development of arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, immunodeficiency disorder and cognitive impairment. Nonmedicinal and medicinal products are used to treat insomnia. Cognitive-behavioural therapy may be effective as a psychotherapy. Non-benzodiazepine GABA-receptors agonists are most often used to treat chronic insomnia and histamine receptor blockers to treat acute insomnia among the other drugs of this group.
