Insomnia + sleeplessness
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested can have different causes. A useful plan begins with your sleep pattern and the factors that may be interrupting it.
Reasons to visit
Difficulty settling at bedtime
Frequent waking or unrefreshing sleep
Stress or discomfort affecting sleep routines
Our approach
Your visit reviews sleep timing, daytime symptoms, stress, medications, and existing care. Acupuncture or bodywork may be discussed for supportive care, with practical routines and coordination with your medical clinician where needed.
Evidence and expectations
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a recommended treatment for chronic insomnia. Evidence for acupuncture and many other complementary sleep approaches is less established. We do not present them as substitutes for CBT-I or a sleep evaluation.

Your first visit
Bring your medication and supplement list, relevant reports, and the questions you want to discuss. We review your priorities and explain suitable options, possible risks, and alternatives before you decide on treatment.
Follow-up is based on your response and goals. There is no fixed number of visits or guaranteed result for everyone.
When medical assessment comes first
Loud snoring, pauses in breathing, or marked daytime sleepiness deserve medical assessment. Do not drive when sleepy or change prescribed sleep medication without your prescriber.
Common questions
Can I continue my current sleep treatment?
Yes. Tell us about prescribed medicines, therapy, and any sleep apnea treatment so proposed supportive care can be coordinated appropriately.
Will I need herbs or supplements?
Not automatically. Any recommendation should account for your medicines, health conditions, pregnancy status where relevant, and preferences. Do not replace prescribed care with a product without discussing it with your clinician.
