## What The Sources Report

- Insomnia causes significant distress, functional impairment, and increases health care costs and risk for other disorders. [Buysse Daniel J. (2026); evidence level 1]
- Current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) recommend behavioral-psychological treatment and medications as single treatment modalities for insomnia. [Buysse Daniel J. (2026); evidence level 1]
- This clinical practice guideline (CPG) provides an American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guideline on combination treatment of chronic insomnia in adults and reflects the current recommendations of the AASM. [Buysse Daniel J. (2026); evidence level 2]
- However, evidence-based guidance regarding the benefits and harms of combination treatment for chronic insomnia is lacking. [Buysse Daniel J. (2026); evidence level 2]

## How To Read This Evidence

Evidence level 1 generally reflects systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Level 2 includes randomized trials, guidelines, or public-health guidance. Level 3 usually reflects observational or narrative-review evidence. Level 4 is weaker or early-stage evidence. The level is a sorting aid, not a final quality grade.

## Practical Interpretation

There is at least one systematic-review style source in the current set, so it deserves more weight than single-study evidence. For sleep hygiene insomnia guideline, the next editorial step is to add more targeted sources and separate strong findings from early or indirect evidence.

## Limits Of This First Pass

This is a small-batch MVP article. It uses the first ingested sources for this topic and should be expanded with more targeted searches, license review, and human editorial checks before being treated as a definitive review.
