睡眠差与焦虑是人们求诊最常见的原因。本页对比西医睡眠卫生与用药和中医安神思路，以及针灸证据位置。
| Aspect 维度 | Western medicine 西医 | TCM 中医 |
|---|---|---|
| Core idea 思路 核心思路 |
Sleep hygiene, CBT for insomnia, and — short-term — medication. Targets the cycle of arousal and rumination directly. 睡眠卫生、失眠的认知行为疗法，必要时短期用药。直接处理过度唤醒与反刍循环。 |
Views sleep as rooted in "spirit" (神) and the heart-liver axis; acupuncture and calming routines aim to settle the system, often paired with evening routine advice. 将睡眠归于「神」与心肝轴；针灸与安神法旨在安定，常配合晚间作息建议。 |
| Strengths 擅长的 擅长的 |
CBT for insomnia is the most durable non-drug treatment; medication helps short-term crises. 失眠 CBT 是最持久的无药疗法；用药助短期危机。 |
Acupuncture for insomnia and anxiety shows modest benefits in several reviews, valued for low side effects in people wary of medication. 针灸治失眠与焦虑在多篇综述中显示温和益处，因副作用低而受顾虑用药者青睐。 |
These are areas where acupuncture and TCM are most often used as complementary care, supported by WHO-listed indications and multiple systematic reviews. They sit alongside — not against — conventional medicine.
对拒绝或不能服用睡眠/焦虑药物者，针灸与作息安神提供无药路径，安全性好。
Teaching example (not a diagnosis): months of lying awake with racing thoughts. Sleep hygiene and CBT lead; acupuncture may be a calming add-on. Thoughts of self-harm need immediate crisis care — acupuncture is not the answer there.
教学示例（非诊断）：数月卧床思虑纷飞。睡眠卫生与 CBT 为先；针灸可作安神附加。凡有自伤念头须立即危机干预，此时非针灸所宜。
