Brief Summary  
        Insomnia is a disturbance of normal sleep patterns commonly characterized by difficulty in initiating sleep (sleep onset insomnia) and/or difficulty in maintaining sleep (sleep maintenance) and imposes a significant negative impact on patient’s quality of life(QOL). Insomnia is prevalent public health problem affecting large number of population all over the world on a situational, recurrent, or chronic basis. Despite its high prevalence, morbidity, and costs, insomnia often remains untreated; when treatment is initiated, it is often limited to self-help remedies (e.g., alcohol, over-the-counter drugs) of questionable efficacy and safety. Patients with insomnia generally have subsyndromal levels of physiological symptoms of anxiety, including tachycardia, trembling, sweating, dizziness, gastrointestinal distress. There is a symptomatic overlap between insomnia and anxiety, including agitation, irritability, loss of appetite, muscle tension and poor concentration. Hence, treatment of insomnia may reduce the levels of anxiety and increase patient QOL. In the current investigator initiated study, we plan to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of CBT and Zolpidem Tartrate (a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic indicated for short term treatment of insomnia) against CBT alone in patients with insomnia associated with comorbid anxiety.
