Is eating bird's nest effective for people with long-term insomnia?

Generally, for people with chronic insomnia, consuming bird's nest (edible swiftlet nest) may have a mild regulatory effect on insomnia caused by physical weakness or mental tension, but it has little effect on insomnia caused by other factors. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If insomnia is related to decreased physical function and mental tension,表现为浅睡眠、易醒、白天乏力，the nutrients in bird's nest may help improve overall physical condition and relieve mental tension. Appropriate consumption might slightly improve sleep quality.

If insomnia is caused by organic diseases or severe anxiety and depression, accompanied by difficulty sleeping throughout the night or disrupted sleep cycles, bird's nest cannot target the underlying causes. Its consumption is unlikely to improve insomnia and may even increase psychological stress due to overly high expectations.

Consumption of bird's nest should be moderated to avoid excessive intake that could burden the body. If insomnia does not improve after a period of consumption or if other discomforts occur, reliance on bird's nest should be stopped and medical advice sought promptly to identify the cause and implement appropriate interventions.
