    BackgroundTo assess the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) of medical students at Hunan Medicine College towards insomnia and TCM treatment.MethodsThe study included 676 medical students. More than half were female (64.20%), and 33.8% reported experiencing insomnia for over a week. Participants' KAP scores were evaluated on insomnia and TCM treatment using a scale.ResultsThe mean KAP scores for insomnia were 58.93%, 73.75%, and 64.94%, respectively, indicating insufficient knowledge but positive attitudes and moderate practices. TCM treatment scores were 78.18%, suggesting better awareness. Overall, 67.60% of medical students would choose TCM for insomnia treatment. Multivariable analysis revealed associations between choosing TCM and higher knowledge (OR = 1.30), positive attitude (OR = 1.46), better practice (OR = 3.44), and being in a later academic year (OR = 2.397).ConclusionThe study underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to enhance understanding and promote effective practices among medical students, potentially improving their well-being and addressing insomnia more comprehensively.© 2025 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
