Patterns of Insomnia

Patterns of Insomnia

The first pattern of insomnia is due to hyperactivity of emotions. Patients exhibiting this pattern would also experience irritability, giddiness or headache and pain in the flanks. This pattern is usually directly linked to unmanageable stress.

The second pattern is due to poor nourishment, caused by poor nutrition or weak digestion, leading to pale complexion, heart palpitations, absent mindedness, fatigue and excessive perspiration.

The third pattern is due to imbalanced digestion, where sufferers experience bloating, acid reflux, frustration, and/or bitter taste in the mouth.

From the Chinese medicine perspective, any or a combination of these patterns could be the underlying reason for your sleep problems.
