A commonly used pressure point for sleep is called the Anmian point. It is located behind your earlobe, just beneath the skull, in the hollow area where the neck muscles meet the base of the skull. Gently pressing or massaging this point can help promote relaxation and improve sleep.

Another pressure point is the Shenmen point, located on the ear. Massaging this point can help calm the mind and encourage sleep.

You can also try massaging the Baihui point (at the top of the head) or the Tianzhu point (at the back of the neck) to help alleviate stress and improve sleep.

These techniques are part of acupressure and may help promote relaxation, but consulting a healthcare professional is always a good idea if sleep issues persist.
While AnMian is a commonly used acupuncture point at the base of the skull for insomnia, it's important to highlight that effective acupuncture treatment is never confined to just one point. Each individual's experience with insomnia is unique, and therefore, treatment must be tailored to address the specific underlying causes. For instance, trouble falling asleep may have different root causes than trouble staying asleep. Therefore, our approach to treatment involves a personalized point prescription designed to target the individual needs of each patient.

Depending on the cause, there are various points for insomnia.
Thank you for your question. The name of a helpful pressure point for sleep is An Mian. It is located in a soft spot behind the ears. I encourage you to Google the specific location. I suggest rubbing this point on both sides of your head in a circular motions while doing deep breathing exercises as you're laying down to sleep.
Depends on the diagnosis, which requires a fully trained professional with a master's degree to see you.
There are a number of acupuncture/ acupressure points for sleep.  There are two behind the earlobes,  one on top of the head, one on the wrist crease on the little finger side, and massaging the earlobes.

If tou consult an Ear Chart for the ear point you will find an area or a few points that you can trigger gently and it may help you if your condition is a recent one.

Otherwise, I would suggest you find an Ear reflexologist in your area and enjoy a nice treatment that may help you to sleep and also understand what your body is telling you at this point in time.

Insomnia may be caused by stress, allergies, your bed situation in the bedroom and so many other factors. Stay allert on where you feel better to sleep and find an answer for this situation. You will then have a better energy during the day.
You can try giving pressure on point DU20 or the vertex of your head a couple of times. Or do a light Tai-Chi, giving light pressure to your whole body from head to toes, including your arms, doing a rubbing motion for 15-20 minutes.

As far as I know, there is no one point for sleep. I would get in to see an acupuncturist to treat the causes of your insomnia and not just treat a symptom.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are individualized. Unlike conventional western medicine, there is not one set treatment for a given issue. The treatment is driven by the patient's presentation and the information gathered by the provider during the intake process.

I could have 3 patients walk through my door with insomnia, and they all might be experiencing sleep issues for different reasons. Each reason has its own set of treatment points.

I do not know why you are experiencing insomnia. There isn't enough information provided on this site, in this format, to make any useful determinations and therefore I cannot provide any point or points that might provide relief in your situation.

If you're interested in trying acupuncture or Chinese medicine, and for insomnia/sleep issues this is an excellent treatment choice, your best bet is to go see a local provider who can evaluate you and provide a treatment that is suited to your presentation. To find local providers you can go to NCCAOM.org and use their "Find a Practitioner" lookup.
