Evidence & Research
Insomnia & Sleep Quality: Multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses report that acupuncture improves total sleep time and reduces sleep onset latency, with effects comparable to low-dose sedatives.
Stress-Related Sleep Disorders: Acupuncture reduces cortisol and modulates the autonomic nervous system, promoting deeper, more restorative sleep.
Post-Travel / Jet Lag: Studies in frequent flyers and international travelers show acupuncture helps regulate circadian rhythms and improve sleep patterns. (References: Sleep 2017; J Altern Complement Med 2019; Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2018)
