Success Story for Insomnia
Symptoms & Causes Of Insomnia
Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or remain sleeping at night. The amount of time you need for a restful night of sleep is different from someone else’s need. So, insomnia is often defined by the quality of sleep and how you feel when you wake up. You may sleep over the recommended time and still feel fatigue or drowsy, and this could be the signs of insomnia.
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Waking up during the night
- Daytime drowsiness or fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
There are many reasons why you are experiencing insomnia. It could be the cause of a medical condition, unhealthy sleeping habits as well as other biological factors. Insomnia is not a single sleep disorder, and it is better known as a symptom of another underlying problem.
The most common causes of insomnia are anxiety, stress, and depression. By having difficulty sleeping you could also be putting a strain on these additional conditions. Other emotional or psychological causes of insomnia include trauma, worry, grief or anger. The best way to combat insomnia is to treat the causes behind it.*
Your Different Treatment Options
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can often be used to treat insomnia, sleep apnea, as well as other disorders such as anxiety or stress that can interfere with your sleeping patterns. Custom to Chinese Medicine, acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile, thin needles strategically placed along the meridians in your body. This will help rebalance your energy flow and unclogged your qi which can be the result of your pain or discomfort. Acupuncture can stimulate your melatonin production, reduce your sleep disruption and lessen anxiety. This treatment can also be used for physical conditions that are causing your insomnia.*
