These disorders were of the agrypnic type (insomnia), had a polymorphic character and were due to the psychogenic factors (neurosis). Acupunctures were performed with the use of 3 levels of action of acupuncture points (according to the Tabeev method). Under the impact of treatment and in the presence of neurotic symptomatology regress there was a distinct subjective and objective improvement of the night sleep, which was confirmed by polygraphic recording.
