What Causes Insomnia?

Insomnia is more than just occasional sleeplessness—it’s a persistent inability to fall or stay asleep. Common causes include:

Chronic stress or anxiety (racing thoughts at night)
Hormonal imbalances (menopause, thyroid disorders)
Poor sleep habits (irregular schedules, screen time before bed)
Chronic pain or discomfort (back pain, headaches)
Digestive issues (acid reflux, restless stomach)

If you're tired of counting sheep, acupuncture for insomnia may offer the natural relief you need.

How Acupuncture for Insomnia Can Help

Backed by research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), acupuncture helps treat insomnia by:

✅ Regulating sleep hormones (melatonin and cortisol)

✅ Calming the nervous system to reduce anxiety and stress

✅ Improving blood circulation to promote relaxation

✅ Relieving pain that may be disrupting sleep

At Family AcuCare Acupuncture Clinic in Walnut, CA, we specialize in natural sleep restoration using targeted acupuncture techniques to help you achieve deep, restful sleep.

Home Care Tips to Improve Sleep Naturally

While acupuncture provides long-term relief, these tips can help you sleep better at home:

🔹 Establish a Sleep Routine – Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.

🔹 Limit Screen Time – Avoid phones/TVs 1 hour before bed (blue light disrupts sleep).

🔹 Create a Relaxing Environment – Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.

🔹 Try Herbal Teas – Chamomile or valerian root tea can promote relaxation.

🔹 Gentle Stretching/Yoga – Helps release tension before bedtime.
