Sometimes, yes. I do a lot of work with insomnia and my experience has been that some patients have their sleep issues resolved in a few treatments while other patients have their sleep issues improved but require maintenance to keep the improvement.

The only way to figure out which bucket you're in (resolution vs maintenance) is to try treatment and see where you end up.
yes, acupuncture, herbals and diet
yes, absolutely
There are many treatments for insomnia, depending on what is causing it. You might want to check with your local acupuncturist to see what they suggest.
It can be fixed. You have to be will to do your part. Set a sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake at the same time, even on the weekends. Try meditation, relaxation techniques as listening to white noise. These machines are readily available at a low cost. Good luck!Sent from my U.S.Cellular© Smartphone
Insomnia can be treated and cured. First insomnia is a symptom and not a discrete entity. There are many causes. Among them are poor sleep habits, medications, drugs and alcohol, stress, sleep apnea, periodic limb movements of sleep and multiple others. The way to start with this problem is to see a sleep specialist. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American Association of Sleep Disorder Centers both maintain online membership and referral information.

Insomnia may easily be addressed by acupuncture, according to the WHO (world health organization). There are even herbal formula supplements to address the insomnia pattern that may be affecting you.
