| Abstract: | Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder encountered. It may be defined as a subjective complain of impairment in either the duration depth or restorative qualities of sleep. Patients suffering from insomnia may report difficulties in falling asleep, difficulties in maintaining sleep or early awakenings. The benzodiazepines constitute present day drug therapy directed towards the management of this condition, as their safety and effectiveness are better established than those of other classes of drugs. However after a long period of dominance in the management of insomnia, benzodiazepines have come under critical review. |
