Insomnia Disorder is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders, and it involves both sleep complications and daytime complaints. Adequate quality sleep is crucial for good health and high quality of life. Despite this, the high prevalence and burden of insomnia disorder, which may be acute (short-term) or chronic, is growing globally. This systemic review focuses on insomnia and its management. The main causes and risk factors for insomnia are discussed, as well as the diagnostic criteria for a correct diagnosis. The treatment of insomnia, which is typically a mixture of cognitive-behavioral therapy and pharmacological treatment, is addressed, as well as the vital role pharmacists may play in not just treating insomnia but also determining the root cause/s of sleep disruptions.

Keywords: Insomnia, Sleep disorder, Management, Pharmacological Treatment, Diagnosis.
