So, there are many different ways to treat insomnia. The first step is to improve your sleep hygiene and sleep habits at night. Taking a warm bath will help you drop your body temperature, which initiates sleep onset. Sleeping in a cool, dark environment will also help with the sleep onset and help with melatonin production. Keeping a strict sleep schedule will help you train your body and set your circadian rhythm to feel sleepy at a certain time. That is the first step in treating insomnia.

Now, if that isn’t working, then you might have to move on to the use of medications. You have different medications that will help you treat insomnia, such as benzodiazepines, which work on a neurotransmitter called GABA, which helps promote sleep. Now, these are commonly known as Valium and Ativan or Xanax. Other medications include benzodiazepine receptor agonists, which also work on that neurotransmitter, but have a lesser of side effect than benzodiazepines. These are commonly known as Ambien or Lunesta. Some anti-depressants do have a side effect of insomnia and are commonly used when your insomnia is due to depression or anxiety.

You do have behavioral therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, which is used to treat insomnia. This includes changing your beliefs and your behaviors and patterns that are perpetuating your insomnia, as well as the use of sleep restriction, which decreases your time in bed. So you’re using sleep deprivation to help you get a more consolidated, better quality sleep. So, to treat your insomnia, you should really discuss with your physician what kind of therapy would be best suited for you.

This song is from my album “Songs from the Locked Ward,” written and recorded in the summer of 2009. Music video from 2015. A little comedy to lighten the horror….

Album available at: http://wildtruth.net/songs-from-the-locked-ward/

LYRICS:

Prozac Buspar Xanax too
Haloperidol for you

Zoloft Zyban Trazodone
Antabuse and Methadone

if neuroleptics make you shake
then Benztropine you must take

They profit from the drugs they sell
From the side effects as well

Thorazine Amphetamine
Luvox Carbamazapine

Clozapine and Stelazine
Protripyline lamotrigine

Valium and Ativan
viagra for the modern man

But now some ladies take it too
Off-label is good for you!

Abilify and Mellaril
Klonopin Anafrinil

Naltrexone oxazepam
Rozerem triazolam

celexa went generic, oh
So let’s brand name it Lexapro

Tweak the formula a touch
Sells for thirty times as much

Venlafaxine Doxepin
Benificat and Ambien

cymbalta and Adderall
Serzone and Propanolol

Bupropion does not sound fun
So market it as Wellbutrin

If its drug name makes you chafe
change its name so it sounds safe

Effexor and Vistaril
Lunesta and Tofranil

Librium and Nembutal
Zeldox Phenobarbital

It takes a town to raise a kid
But barring that there’s Ritalin

Pills are good for kids I know
The FDA it told me so

Topomax and Trilafon
Depakote and Geodon

Methylin Modafinil
Dexedrine and Dogmatil

Lobotomy has since evolved
nowadays there’s Risperdal

Zyprexa shrinks a monkey’s brain
You tell me now who’s insane

Nardil Paxil Elavil
prolixin and Seroquel

Moban Marplan and Navane
Benadryl and Loxitane

Lithium will soothe your mood
If it doesn’t poison you

If you think they’re danger free
Buy the Brooklyn Bridge from me

Mirtazipine Nortriptyline
Procyclidine fluphenazine

Eldepryl and Loxapine
Flurazepam Desipramine

Symmetrel Reboxetine
Halcion Trimipramine

La la la—la la la
La la la la la la….
