 Insomnia or sleeplessness is a very common complaint in the elderly. General atherosclerosis is considered to be the main cause. Studies have shown that sleeplessness leads to memory weakness. So if insomnia is treated effectively, the patient can have an active memory, once again. As a result, the patient’s self-confidence and self-dependence can be improved. Conventional medicines can solve the problem somehow but they leave considerable side effects on the patient. -Is there any safe method of healing? Classical homeopathy, as the safest complementary and alternative method of healing, is effective in solving the problem gently, rapidly, and safely. -Case report An 82 man, though active, referred to me complaining of chronic insomnia. He had been treated for other health problems by the author and experienced good results in different acute and chronic conditions, such as common cold, knee pain due to a long lasting osteoarthritis and general weakness. This time he complained of a long lasting problem, i.e. sleeplessness or insomnia. He used to take coffee before, and had 4-5 unrefreshing nightly sleeping hours. Coffea cruda was selected as proper homeopathic remedy with potency of 30c. He was told to take 2 drops of it 30 minutes before going to bed. In order to dynamize the remedy and enhance its power he was ordered to shake the remedy vigorously, 12 times, before taking it except for the first dose. After 6 days he was visited again. He was pleased with the curative remedy which had increased his sleep time from 4-5 to 7-8 hours, a rapid and effective improvement. He feels refreshed now but his memory has not improved yet. Maybe after a longer period of time it starts to be better, too. - Conclusion Insomnia or sleeplessness, a very common complaint in the elderly and geriatric medicine, has no safe and effective conventional medicine. Fortunately, homeopathic remedies are able to solve the problem safely, gently and rapidly. Therefore it is suggested to take homeopathic method into serious consideration to help the elderly who suffer from insomnia and other health problems.
