How do you find yourself sleeping in the evenings?
There are so many important questions to dive into within the singular topic of your dream time.
You spend a significant number of hours of your ENTIRE LIFE sleeping. You spend more hours doing this than any other activity you pursue in your waking life (hopefully).
This is the body’s time to fully activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System, which sends you into “rest + digest” mode. In a well-functioning system, this is also the time to fully de-activate the “fight or flight” Sympathetic Nervous System that we tend to overstimulate all day.
During the dream time, your body is able to repair the damages that have been done all day (via physical load, lack of movement, stressors, work, strained interactions/emotions, etc.) and revitalize your stores of energy to prepare you for the next day.
If you are spending a lot of time trying to fall asleep, waking in the night + trying to get back to sleep, choosing excess work/play over adequate sleep, being disturbed by your dreams/nightmares, or rising in the morning feeling anything less than rested for the new day ahead…your sleep could use some assistance.
Acupuncture is one of the quickest + longest lasting therapies that can enhance your sleep. The next layer is a comprehensive education on what you can do to optimize your sleep hygiene routine before bed. Herbal Medicine can further synergize with these methods to help you hit the pillow with restful ease. This full scope of care is included in booking an Acupuncture Appointment: treatment + education + herbal recommendation!
Acupuncture is so good at stepping up to this role of sleep enhancement, that it often leaves patients in a deeply relaxing “Acu Nap” state while still on the treatment table! Falling into a brief Acu Nap is as restorative as several hours of sleep for a taxed body + nervous system.
Let us help you sleep better at night + awaken with more energy for each day!
