One third of a person's life is spent in sleep, and healthy sleep is the key to mental and physical health.

"How to make people have a good sleep" is the original intention of the establishment of the Department of Sleep Medicine of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and it is also a direction of continuous development and upgrading of medical teaching and research.
As an emerging discipline, the subject of sleep medicine has developed rapidly in recent years. The Department of Sleep Medicine of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was established in 2021. It mainly treats insomnia, emotional disorders accompanied by insomnia, sleep apnea syndrome, psychosocial diseases, stress-related disorders, etc. At the same time, the department systematically and deeply carried out sleep disorder intervention treatment, and provided professional sleep monitoring, physical therapy, psychological therapy and other services.

Liang Yan, director of the Department of Sleep Medicine, said that the department’s outpatient clinics are divided into three independent outpatient clinics: sleep, psychology and psychiatry. Experts are on duty every day to help patients scientifically find "good sleep". The treatment area has a polysomnography treatment room, a hypnosis treatment room, a light treatment room, an insomnia cognitive treatment room, etc., which provides a strong guarantee for patients' recovery.

Liang Yan said that the department is equipped with portable sleep monitoring, and patients can take the instrument home to monitor by themselves. The operation is simple and convenient, effectively solving the problem of sleep monitoring due to inability to fall asleep in an unfamiliar environment.
"The transcranial magnetic stimulator can effectively relieve insomnia, anxiety, headache, tinnitus and other symptoms." Liang Yan introduced that the department had admitted a 50-year-old female patient who had been insomnia for decades. After ten transcranial magnetic stimulator treatments and acupuncture treatment, the symptoms of insomnia improved, from waking up seven or eight times overnight to waking up only once. This result made the patient very happy.
At the same time, the sleep medicine department has also made considerable achievements in psychotherapy. "At present, teenagers have a high learning pressure and weak psychological endurance. Once they encounter setbacks, they are prone to psychological problems." Liang Yan said that parents should pay more attention to their children's mental health and seek medical treatment in time when they find problems. "There is a young patient in the department whose mental state gradually recovers under transcranial magnetic stimulator treatment, light treatment and psychological counseling treatment."
