Insomnia is so painful, what should I do?

The main pathological location of insomnia is the heart. Due to the heart spirit being un-nourished or unsettled, the mind is restless leading to insomnia, but it is also related to the imbalance of yin, yang, qi, and blood in the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach, and kidneys.

Traditional Chinese medicine improves sleep quality by regulating the functions of the body's organs, qi, blood, and yin-yang balance, without causing drug dependence or iatrogenic diseases, making it quite popular.

The basic treatment method for this disease is to tonify deficiency and purge excess, adjusting the qi, blood, yin, and yang of the internal organs, supplemented by calming the mind and stabilizing the will.

To prevent poor sleep, you should:

1. Pay attention to mental adjustment, maintain moderation in likes and dislikes, relieve worries and anxiety, and keep the mind relaxed.

2. Develop good living habits. For example, go to bed on time, avoid staying up late frequently, and do not drink strong tea, coffee, or smoke before sleeping.

3. Improve the sleeping environment.

4. Combine work and rest and strengthen exercise.

Primary insomnia lasting more than 3 consecutive weeks requires treatment. Sleep disturbances caused by other diseases are not within the scope of this discussion.
