Key points

  • Insomnia involves persistent difficulty sleeping that affects daytime life.
  • Narcolepsy can involve excessive daytime sleepiness and may be managed with wakefulness medicines such as armodafinil.
  • Phenergan is listed here as an antihistamine for allergic states, motion sickness and nausea, not for insomnia.
