How To Treat Insomnia That Hasn T Improved Despite Strict Sleep Timings?

I ve suffered from chronic insomnia for years, however, I ve developed good sleep maintenance habits including rising and going to bed same time daily. Still have problems both with sleep onset insomnia and sleep maintenance. Do you recommend a prescription for that or a different approach to CBT?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello

It is always better that the combination of CBT and drugs is used for managing chronic insomnia. It is something more to just following strict sleep timing for its managment.
You should see a psychiatrist in person and discuss your case in detail.
