Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty in initiating, maintaining, or obtaining restorative sleep, despite adequate opportunity to do so. It may present as difficulty falling asleep (sleep-onset insomnia), frequent awakenings (sleep-maintenance insomnia), or early morning awakening with inability to return to sleep.
Causes include stress, anxiety, depression, poor sleep hygiene, excessive caffeine intake, pain, medications, or underlying physical and psychological disorders. Chronic insomnia can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, poor concentration, memory issues, and impaired quality of life. Management involves addressing underlying causes, maintaining good sleep hygiene, and in homoeopathy, individualized remedies that restore natural sleep rhythm without sedation or dependency.

Homoeopathy treats insomnia holistically, focusing on the root cause—whether it is mental stress, emotional disturbance, physical pain, or nervous exhaustion. Remedies help calm the mind, balance the nervous system, and promote natural, refreshing sleep. Unlike sedatives, homoeopathic medicines do not suppress symptoms but harmonize sleep physiology. Individualization based on modalities, causation, mental state, and concomitant symptoms is essential for lasting recovery.
