How does Clonidine assist in the treatment of specific sleep disorders? What clinical evidence supports its use in conditions like insomnia or sleep apnea?
Clonidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, is beneficial in treating sleep disorders like insomnia by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity, promoting relaxation and sleep. Studies have shown it increases sleep duration and reduces nighttime awakenings.
