Yes. Insomnia is treatable once the sleep physician understand what are the problems causing the insomnia and treating the underlying problem.
Insomnia can be treated with massage, acupuncture and sometimes herbs. You should start feeling better gradually with these modalities.
A variety of things can potentially help improve insomnia:
Fixing your sleep hygiene can make a big difference. Light in the blue spectrum can fool your brain into thinking it's morning. Devices like phones, tablets, computers, and televisions all emit light in this range. Using devices like this at or close to bedtime can make you brain think it's time to get up and can cause or exacerbate insomnia. Better to read a book or do something else that helps your brain to calm down and indicates to your body it's time to sleep.
Eating too much just prior to bed can cause stomach/GI discomfort, making it difficult to get in a comfortable position and fall to sleep. A light snack prior to bedtime is ok, a full meal should be avoided.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have an excellent track record in treating insomnia (though sleep hygiene is still important and will still need to be addressed).
Sometimes having some white noise in the room helps. Either a small fan or a white noise generating machine can help people fall to sleep.
Over the counter sleep aids like melatonin or diphenhydramine (benadryl) can sometimes help folks get to sleep.
Prescription sleep aids can often help. It's important to note that prescription sleep aids often have side-effects, can cause daytime drowsiness, and are sometimes addictive.
If you have anxiety that is preventing sleep, addressing the anxiety issues either through prescription medication, therapy, Chinese medicine, or all three can often improve the situation.
