In the international classification of sleep disorders there are over 80 causes of insomnia, which have more than 80 treatments completely dependent on diagnosis or insomnia type.
An example of the cause of insomnia is obstructive sleep apnea, a disease in which the patient’s breath stops during sleep. If such a patient is inadvertently given a regular sedative to treat insomnia associated with anxiety, he can even die, because the usual sedatives are inhibitors of the respiratory nervous centers.
In conclusion, there is no omnipotent treatment to treat all types of insomnia.
