Drug classes that cause insomnia include Benzodiazepines, for example, lorazepam, a class of benzodiazepines with a shorter half-life that controls and relieves insomnia or difficulties falling asleep due to stress or worry. The Dual orexin receptor antagonists, such as Suvorexant, block or antagonize the orexin receptor (Stern et al., 2015). Melatonin receptor agonists, such as Ramelteon, a melatonin receptor agonist that help patients with sleep-onset sleeplessness and those at greater risk of falling sleep better.
