What Medication Works Best for Adolescent Insomnia?
Adolescent insomnia is often associated with intense academic pressure and irregular lifestyles; over time, this may lead to nervous system dysfunction (neurasthenia). It is recommended that patients take traditional Chinese patent medicines to regulate sleep—such as Bailuomian Capsules, Anshen Bunao Oral Liquid, Qingnao Fushen Liquid, Zaoren Anshen Capsules—as well as vitamin B complex and gamma-oryzanol to help normalize autonomic nervous system function. If sleep does not significantly improve, short-term use of eszopiclone may be considered to enhance sleep quality. Additionally, acupuncture and scalp massage based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles can also aid in improving sleep.
The primary causes of insomnia are largely related to external environmental stressors—for instance, excessive academic or occupational pressure, family conflicts, or psychological factors such as emotional instability or extreme mood fluctuations. In middle-aged and older adults, secondary causes may include neurasthenia or worsening cerebral arteriosclerosis.
Therefore, to effectively address insomnia, it is essential to tackle these underlying contributing factors. Maintaining a positive mindset and stable emotional state, combined with appropriate pharmacological interventions, is key to improving sleep. We hope this article has been helpful to you!
