Insomnia is characterized by
difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. An estimated 32 million people suffer
from insomnia in the U.S. People with insomnia may have one or more of the
following symptoms:
-
Difficulty falling asleep
-
Waking up often during the night and having trouble
going back to sleep
-
Waking up too early in the morning
-
Feeling tired upon waking
When insomnia persists more than one
or two nights, most people turn to the use of sleep aids such as Trazadone or
Ambien. While the western medicines can be effective for insomnia, they often
develop into dependencies and can cause side effects. Fortunately, insomnia can
be treated effectively with acupuncture without side effects. If you would like
