We could all use a little more sleep.

From a deadly pandemic to the 2020 elections, we certainly experienced some pretty stressful moments in 2020. We could all use a little more sleep or better quality rest.

According to the American Sleep Association, most healthy adults need 7-9 hours of sleep nightly to function their best. 

In 2014, the CDC (Center for Disease Control) declared sleep deprivation a public health epidemic.

Traditional Chinese Medicine considers insomnia a symptom, not a disease. Sleep disorders can be caused by prolonged emotional stress, improper diet, or a weak constitution following an extended illness. 

Acupuncture promotes relaxation and natural sleeping patterns without the hangover effect that comes with most sleeping pills. We recommend those who have problems with sleep to try acupuncture before taking heavy-duty medications. Acupuncture furthermore can help get to the root of why those symptoms are occurring in the first place. 

Acupuncture help you feel more relaxed and less anxious, which encourages you to fall asleep easier. Acupuncture utilizes tiny needles to access distinct points on the body to restore balance, alleviate pain, stress, anxiety, enhance sleep, and improve overall well-being.  

Acupuncture can be an effective and natural way to rebalance energy flow, improving sleeping quality, and reducing stress levels. ACA Acupuncture & Wellness offices offer experienced and highly qualified acupuncturists to enhance your quality of sleep.
