Benzodiazepines are the best pharmacological treatment to use for insomnia in older adults. (True or False)

Benzodiazepines are generally not recommended for treating insomnia in older adults due to their side effects, including increased risk of falls, cognitive impairment, and dependence. Non-pharmacologic approaches (like sleep hygiene and cognitive-behavioral therapy) are preferred first-line treatments. If medication is necessary, safer alternatives with fewer risks should be considered.
