With the rapid development of society and the increase of human pressure, the occurrence of diseases has become more common. Insomnia is gradually known as a common clinical disease. The occurrence of insomnia is gradually unrelated to age, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. Insomnia brings a heavy burden to human life and work, and even causes other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to treat insomnia efficiently. Western medicine believes that insomnia is a disorder of the sleep cycle, which may change the sleep phase due to external factors. The treatment method is mainly based on taking western medicine, but the patients have most adverse reactions in clinical practice and low acceptance.

In clinical practice, patients have less discomfort and high acceptance. Therefore, this paper is based on the treatment of insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine, and strives to prove the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine on insomnia.
