Mission Connection has released a new guide on using trazodone to treat sleep disorders like insomnia in adults.
-- The recently published trazodone guide from Mission Connection is intended for adults with conditions like insomnia and mental health-related sleep problems. The resource includes information on the medication’s benefits and potential side effects and offers treatment recommendations for those with underlying issues.

The American Psychiatric Association estimates that one-third of adults experience insomnia symptoms, while up to 22% of Americans meet the criteria for insomnia disorder. These conditions can impact daily functioning and result in fatigue, decreased energy, problems focusing, and irritability; chronic sleep issues can also increase an individual’s risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, and may signal the onset of conditions such as congestive heart failure, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson’s disease.
While milder sleeping issues can be ameliorated with certain lifestyle choices, such as daily exercise, proper sleep hygiene, and relaxation techniques, chronic sleeping disorders, especially those caused by mental health issues, may require medication.
Mission Connection’s guide says that trazodone, an antidepressant, is one of the most commonly used sleep aids for this purpose due to its relatively mild side effects.
The resource explains that trazodone works by inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin, a hormone needed to stabilize sleep-wake cycles and regulate moods, making it helpful for individuals whose insomnia is caused by mood or anxiety disorders.
It also blocks the brain’s 5-HT2A, H1 histamine, and alpha-1 receptors, reducing agitation and inducing drowsiness in the user. Because of these effects, the medication is thought to help improve certain aspects of sleep; in patients with both depression and insomnia, one study found that trazodone reduced the time it takes to fall asleep by 44% and resulted in more time spent asleep.
Individuals may prefer trazodone to other options due to its affordability and lower risk of habit formation; however, it may still cause side effects such as dizziness, headaches, and sleepiness the day after.
While trazodone is effective over the short term, Mission Connection’s guide notes that patients who experience sleep disturbances caused by underlying issues, such as depression, anxiety, or stress, may find more sustained benefits from professional mental health support.
