Introduction: Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or by poor sleep quality despite adequate rest conditions. Insomnia can have significant implications for an individual's overall health and quality of life, including cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impairments. Methodology: The review was conducted in the Virtual Health Library (BVS) and PubMed. Original articles available in full and free of charge in Portuguese and English were included. Articles were excluded after reading the title and abstract, selecting those that were related to the objective. Results: Benzodiazepines, melatonin receptor agonists, histamine receptor antagonists, and orexin/hypocretin receptor antagonists represent essential categories that offer varied therapeutic approaches. Selective modulation of pathways, such as activation of the GABAA receptor, adjustment of melatonin levels, inhibition of histamine action and blockade of orexin receptors, demonstrate the efficacy of these drugs in promoting both the onset and maintenance of sleep. Conclusion: It is concluded that advances in pharmacotherapy for the management of insomnia reflect the diversification of therapeutic agents with specific pharmacological profiles that target different pathways of sleep regulation.
