Sleep issues and insomnia
We all know how it feels to struggle through a night of tossing and turning, only to start the day bleary-eyed and tired. Demands from work, family and so much more cause us to go to sleep too late and wake up too early, missing out on the necessary restorative effects of sleep. Insomnia, pain, and ever-present digital screens rob us of sleep time and quality. Acupuncture and herbal medicine consistently help patients fall asleep quicker and stay asleep throughout the night, and increases the time spent in deep NREM and REM sleep.
One of the most important questions an acupuncturist asks is “how is your sleep?” That is because we know that sleep is when the body repairs from damage done during the waking hours. Without sufficient sleep, the body heals much slower injury and disease, and is more prone to chronic injury and infection due to a weakened immune system. Anxiety and emotional disturbances are also more common in sleep deprived individuals. Allow your body and mind the chance to operate at their best!
