Acupuncture for insomnia

Sleeping well, waking rested

Acupuncture for insomnia can often be really helpful.  People often report a really good night's sleep after their first acupuncture treatment, even when they thought their sleep was pretty good in the first place!

Insomnia can be really draining.  Sleeping poorly can be a really frustrating experience, and of course it's usually followed by feeling tired and groggy the next day.  Increasing exhaustion still doesn't result in a good night's sleep an enormous sleep deficit can build up.  Acupuncture can help cut through this cycle and re-establish a sounder sleeping pattern. 

Acupuncture doesn't use a 'one size fits all' approach.  Jessica's diagnostic process looks in detail at whether you're having trouble getting off to sleep, suffering easily disturbed sleep, being woken by over-vivid dreaming, waking in the night, waking frequently to go to the loo, or waking early and not being able to go back to sleep, to reach a fully individualised diagnosis.  All these different sleep patterns have different diagnoses in Chinese medicine and are treated differently.  Information from many other areas of your health may also fit into a neat pattern and give a clear indication of the best way to treat in your particular case.
