Peaceful Sleep
Most people have experienced feeling exhausted from lack of sleep at least once in their life. Poor sleep quality or insufficient hours of sleep can have a detrimental effect on work performance, personal relationships, self esteem, energy and general health. When sleep is less than optimal, people have a tendency to become anxious or worried about sleep, which then worsens the problem and contributes to other health issues.
By regulating the nervous system, acupuncture supports your natural ability to:
- Fall asleep faster
- Stay asleep through the night
- Regulate your body temperature
- Breathe normally
- Reduce the frequency of dreams & nightmares and night time urination
- Wake up feeling refreshed.
Sleep treatments may be particularly useful for people who:
- Have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea or insomnia
- Have high stress levels
- Are going through menopause
- Experience frequent night time urination
- Have low energy during the day
- Travel frequently.
