Struggling with sleepless nights? Acupressure—a therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine—is gaining attention as a possible solution for better sleep, and some experts are optimistic. According to two sleep specialists, research supports acupressure’s effectiveness for improving sleep quality, especially in hospital patients and those suffering from insomnia. Applying pressure to specific body points helps calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation, the experts note.
One study reviewed by Tom’s Guide found that acupressure led to improved sleep quality, longer total sleep time, and quicker sleep onset, often with results comparable to common medications but without notable side effects. Experts emphasize that while responses vary from person to person, incorporating acupressure into your bedtime routine may offer benefit as part of a broader approach to good sleep hygiene.
