How long does accupuncture take to help with insomnia?

Acupuncture - never: There really is no good evidence that acupuncture helps insomnia. If you sleep poorly often, and this is a persistent problem, then it is important to find the cause of insomnia and to treat the cause. Treatments can include cognitive-behavioral treatment that help you improve your sleep habits and get away from thoughts and associations that worsen sleep, or different kinds of medicines.

Several weeks: In several studies it took 10 to 25 accupuntuncture sessions lasting 4 to 6 weeks for treatment of insomnia.

Rapid benefit: The majority of patients i treat with insomnia have some level of improvement of symptoms the same night using chinese scalp acupuncture (insomnia triangle) and auricular acupuncture (insomnia points one & two with a master point).
