Acupuncture and sleep
A wired mind in a tired body — how Kyla Phillips uses treatment to support sleep without calling it a sleeping pill.
Symptoms and what they can mean
Sleep that will not start, or 3am with a humming chest. Caffeine, screens and grief all belong in the story.
What we can do in clinic

Red flags and when to see your GP
Apnoea, gasping, or depression that includes not wanting to wake up — GP and crisis routes. I do not stop prescribed sleep medicine.
