Poor sleep can quickly affect how you feel in yourself. When you are not sleeping well, it can influence your mood, energy, concentration, patience, digestion and ability to cope with everyday demands. You may struggle to fall asleep, wake during the night, wake too early, or feel exhausted even after resting.
At Beth Weightman Acupuncture, I offer gentle, traditional Five Element acupuncture from a peaceful clinic in North Wootton, near Wells, Somerset.I support people experiencing insomnia, restless sleep, waking in the night, stress-related sleep problems and tiredness.
Book a free 15-minute consultation to talk through your sleep difficulties and whether acupuncture may be suitable for you.
Many people consider acupuncture when sleep feels disrupted by stress, anxiety, hormonal changes, pain, grief, burnout or an overactive mind. Five Element acupuncture considers sleep as part of your wider health and emotional wellbeing, rather than looking at insomnia in isolation.
Your treatment may explore your sleep pattern, energy, stress levels, mood, digestion, lifestyle and any changes that were happening when the sleep difficulty began. This helps create a fuller picture of why rest may feel difficult.
The British Acupuncture Council has an insomnia fact sheet that summarises research into acupuncture and sleep. Its wider mental health evidence review also notes insomnia as one of the areas included in acupuncture research.
Acupuncture can be considered an extremely effective complementary approach alongside other support such as GP advice, counselling, sleep hygiene, lifestyle support or other appropriate treatment.
You may be considering acupuncture if you experience:
Difficulty falling asleep
Waking during the night
Waking very early
Restless or light sleep
Tiredness during the day
An overactive mind at night

At your first appointment, we will talk through your sleep in detail, including when the difficulty started, what your nights are like, how you feel during the day, and what else may be going on in your health or life.
If insomnia or poor sleep are affecting your wellbeing, you are welcome to contact me. We can talk through your sleep pattern and consider whether acupuncture may be helpful for you.
