Sleep Restoration

Evidence-Based Acupuncture for Restful Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for cognitive performance, emotional balance, and overall health. Acupuncture has been shown to improve sleep onset, duration, and quality, making it a valuable tool for those struggling with insomnia, jet lag, or disrupted sleep patterns.

Conditions Supported

  • Chronic insomnia and difficulty falling asleep

  • Frequent night awakenings or fragmented sleep

  • Sleep disturbances related to stress, travel, or shift work

  • Jet lag for frequent travelers

  • Sleep-related headaches and tension

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)
