Abstract:

The review describes general patterns of the development of acute (short-term) insomnia, its occurrence and course with the risk of transition to chronic insomnia. Main approaches for pharmacological and psychotherapeutic correction of acute insomnia needed to prevent chronification are indicated. The author suggests an algorithm for the treatment of acute insomnia taking into account its staging.
