Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a technique for treating insomnia without (or alongside) medications. Insomnia is a common problem involving trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting quality sleep. CBT-I aims to improve sleep habits and behaviors by identifying and changing the thoughts and the behaviors that affect the ability of a person to sleep or sleep well.

Some insomniacs use herbs such as valerian, chamomile, lavender, cannabis, hops, "Withania somnifera", and passion-flower. -Arginine -aspartate, "S"-adenosyl--homocysteine, and delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) may also be helpful in alleviating insomnia. It is unclear if acupuncture is useful.
