Treating Insomnia Sleeplessness can effect anyone young or old at any time. Practitioners recommend a number of steps to take before the taking of tablets. For example try to avoid caffeine and alcohol which are well known to distrupt sleep patterns and try not to sleep during the day. Instead try taking some light exercise and finding a change of scenery.

Treatments for Insomnia Over-the-counter antihistamine products are designed to relieve temporary sleep disturbances in adults. However, it is worth bearing in mind that an antihistamine may well have residual effects the following morning and may interfere with your alertness and performance. Diphenhydramine contained in Nytol and Dreemon, has a shorter duration of action than Promethazine found in Sominex, and so it is less likely to cause drowsiness next morning. Please note: Sleeping aids should be used for short periods only for occasional episodes of sleeplessness caused by well defined stresses. Furthermore the sedative antihistamines should be avoided in patients with glaucoma and during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Alcohol should be avoided.
