Insomnia caused by kidney deficiency can be treated with medications and adjustments to daily routines. Patients with insomnia should avoid napping at noon, as it may lead to insufficient nighttime sleep and difficulty falling asleep. Besides difficulty sleeping at night, insomnia due to kidney deficiency may also present symptoms such as dry mouth, soreness in the lower back, weak knees, and itchy skin. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take oral medications such as Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan or Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.
