This study tests whether Compound Ciwujia Granules, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can improve sleep in people with chronic insomnia. 1,200 adults aged 40-75 will take either the herb, a standard sleep drug (estazolam), or both for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure sleep quality, mood, and safety over 12 weeks.
