Understanding Insomnia
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or causes you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep. It can result in poor sleep quality and quantity, affecting daytime functioning. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving psychiatrists, sleep specialists, and behavioral therapists to address both the symptoms and underlying causes of insomnia.

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Sleep Diary: Tracking sleep patterns.
