Insomnia is a prominent problem.The current mainstream therapy for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy.Traditional Chinese medicine has rich clinical experience in treating insomnia,but we have ignored the contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to behavioral therapy in the past.Completed in the Qing Dynasty in China,Laolao Hengyan is a comprehensive book on the management of the elderly's self-health.The book describes many ways to promote sleep health.This book inherits the traditional Chinese medical treatment concept and reflects traditional Chinese culture.By comparing this book with cognitive behavioral therapy,we find that the Chinese Qing Dynasty literature has documented some cognitive and behavioral aspects of sleep that are consistent with modern medical concepts.Moreover,this method is superior to modern medicine in some aspects,so this is worthy of our in-depth study to complement and enrich modern medical theory.
