The treatment for insomnia in patients with hyperthyroidism primarily involves controlling hyperthyroidism through medication and lifestyle care to alleviate symptoms. Patients should take antithyroid medications such as methimazole or propylthiouracil as prescribed to regulate thyroid hormone secretion. Additionally, sleep aids such as estazolam or Anshen Bunaoye (a traditional Chinese medicine) may be used to improve sleep. In daily life, engaging in moderate exercise and soaking the feet before bedtime can help relax the body and facilitate falling asleep.
