While conventional insomnia therapies remain widely utilized, they exhibit persistent safety limitations, including risks of dependence and cognitive impairment. Natural products have garnered increasing scientific interest owing to their favorable safety profiles and demonstrated therapeutic efficacy. This comprehensive review critically examines contemporary advances in understanding the mechanistic actions of natural products against insomnia and their supporting clinical evidence, with the objective of synthesizing their pharmacological mechanisms, clinical effectiveness, and safety evaluations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review retrieved relevant literature through comprehensive searches of four core biomedical databases (ScienceDirect, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Web of Science), encompassing peer-reviewed articles published between January 2020 and August 2025.
