The aetiology of insomnia can be conveniently divided into six groups: physical (pain, cough, etc.), physiological (shift-workers etc.), psychological (life events), psychiatric (depression, anxiety, etc.), iatrogenic (stimulant drugs, etc.) and idiopathic (no obvious cause). The four main types of insomnia are: prolonged latency, frequent short awakenings, one or two long awakenings and early morning awakening. Patients' habits that may interfere with sleep are related to: alcohol, smoking, tea and coffee drinking, and bedtime drinks. In a double-blind comparison between temazepam and nitrazepam, both drugs were shown to be effective hypnotics, nitrazepam being better for early morning wakening, although at the expense of more hangover effects. Zopiclone, a new cyclopyrrolone hypnotic, was also compared to temazepam in a double-blind cross-over trial and similar hypnotic effects were recorded with both drugs.
