Edit to Medication Treatment

While this wiki page says that the use of nonbenzodiazepines, such as zolpidem, have not shown to be that effective, there has been past meta-analysis of 22 studies that show that Benzodiazepines and zolpidem significantly improve chronic insomnia (Benzodiazepines and Zolpidem Treatment for Chronic Insomnia. "Past meta-analysis has shown that both Benzodiazepines and nonbenzoidazepines, specifically Zolpidem, produce significant improvements to sleep in patients with chronic insomnia."

What about the effects and consequences of insomnia?

There is a huge section about the effects and consequences in the article about sleep deprivation but there is no such section and also not nearly as much information in the insomnia article. While insomnia and sleep deprivation are not the same, they do share many of the consequences on the body and cognitive functioning. Would it make sense to add a section about the effects and consequences of insomnia? RichardOwens67 (talk) 09:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
