Insomnia Treatment Online — Ireland

Sleep hygiene first

• Consistent sleep / wake times, even on weekends
• Bedroom for sleep only — no screens, work, or caffeine close to bedtime
• Light exposure in the morning, dim light in the evening
• Caffeine cut-off by 2 pm; alcohol disrupts sleep architecture

When medication helps

Short-term sedating antihistamines or melatonin can help bridge a difficult few weeks while CBT-I or lifestyle work takes effect. We do not initiate long-term hypnotic prescribing.
