Insomnia

Sleep patterns in TCM are read closely. Trouble falling asleep, waking at 1–3 AM, waking at 3–5 AM, and unrefreshing sleep each point to different organ patterns — Heart, Liver, Lung — and lead to different treatment strategies. Getting this differentiation right often changes results dramatically.

Weekly acupuncture with a well-chosen herbal formula typically produces meaningful improvement within 3–4 weeks. We discuss sleep environment, screen habits, and evening routine. For patients on sleep medication we coordinate carefully rather than advising abrupt changes.
