What causes insomnia?

1. Difficulty falling asleep – soothing the liver
   Tossing and turning at night, clearly lying down at 9 o’clock, but tossing and turning until the early morning to fall asleep
   This is stagnation of qi. Falling asleep is a manifestation of the transformation of the yin and yang qi of the human body. When yin is strong, you fall asleep, and when yang is strong, you wake up. The smooth transfer of yin and yang qi depends on the smooth flow of liver qi. If it fails, sleep will definitely be affected

2. Sleeplessness — Clearing Fire (Excessive Heat)**
   Difficulty falling asleep, an overly active mind, and light sleep even when asleep.
   This is due to excessive Heart and Liver Fire (Heart-Liver fire excess). In TCM, ‘when Qi is in excess, it transforms into Fire’—this agitated Fire harasses the Heart Meridian and scorches the Heart vessels, resulting in restless sleep.”

3. Easy to wake up – regulate the spleen
   Sleep is restless, especially easy to wake up, and repeatedly
   This is “If the stomach is not harmonious, you will not be able to sleep well” It is because of the spleen’s ascending and the stomach’s descending turbidity, connecting the upper and lower, balancing yin and yang, that the life activities of the human body can be maintained. If the diet is not moderate, the spleen and stomach function is not good, it will cause abdominal distension, stomach pain, and make people toss and turn and wake up easily

4. Dreaming a lot – nourishing the heart
   Love to dream a lot, low sleep efficiency, lack of energy during the day, and occasional panic
   This is due to deficiency of heart blood. The heart governs blood, and blood deficiency will cause internal fire, disturbing the heart. Yin is insufficient below, and the spirit is restless above, which will cause the mind to lose nourishment, leading to frequent dreams and forgetfulness.

5. Sleeping is not deep – nourishing the kidney
   Sleeping is very shallow, like sleeping but not sleeping, very light sleepiness, it seems that you have slept all night, but you feel very tired after getting up
   This is kidney yin deficiency. The heart is in the upper part of the body, and the kidney is in the lower part of the body. If the kidney yin is damaged, it cannot be supported, and the heart and kidney are not connected, it will cause virtual fire to rise, and the heart fire will be hyperactive, and you will feel very tired
