Abstract：Traditional Chinese medicine refers to insomnia as"insomnia",which is a sleep disorder caused by problems with sleep time or sleep quality.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the core pathogenesis of insomnia is"yang not entering yin",which means that the yang energy in the body is difficult to enter the yin division normally,leading to yin-yang imbalance.This article focuses on the theory of"yang does not enter yin"and explores the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine.Through a comprehensive analysis of the pathogenic factors,pathological mechanisms,and traditional Chinese medicine treatment plans of insomnia,this article elaborates on the methods of syndrome differentiation and treatment of insomnia from the perspectives of disharmony between yin and yang,imbalance between yin and yang,and emotional disorders.Given the crucial role of the"yang does not enter yin"theory in the treatment of insomnia in traditional Chinese medicine,we are committed to exploring multiple perspectives of TCM insomnia treatment strategies,in order to explore new ideas for clinical treatment,improve treatment effectiveness,and effectively improve patients'sleep quality.
