How to say insomnia in Huangdi Neijing?

Insomnia is also called "insomnia", "insomnia" and "insomnia" in Huangdi Neijing, which is a disease characterized by frequent failure to get normal sleep due to mental malnutrition or anxiety. Mainly manifested as insufficient sleep time and depth, can not eliminate fatigue, restore physical strength and energy. It is difficult to fall asleep, or I am not sleepy, I wake up when I am sleepy, or I can't sleep when I wake up, or I have no sleep for a night. Insomnia is not critical in clinic, but the process of sleep is very important to people's physical and mental health. Due to insufficient sleep time or poor sleep quality, after waking up, there will be a series of symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, palpitation, forgetfulness and general weakness, which will affect people's normal work, study and life. Long-term intractable insomnia can also make people dependent on hypnotics, and a vicious circle will appear over time. Susceptible to drug-induced diseases. If we give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in clinic and treat both the symptoms and root causes through the "examining the cause and the mechanism" of traditional Chinese medicine, we can avoid the above hidden dangers and fundamentally treat insomnia.
