Objective： In order to explain the underlying mechanisms of improving sleep quality by acupuncture, we investigated the influence of electroacupuneture at head and body points on sleep structure in chronic insomnia patients. Methods： All patients were treated by electroacupuncture therapeutic meter on the same main points for 30 rain, once ev- ery day, and then adjunct points were chosen based on syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） without electroacupuneture. There were 10 days during a course of treatment. After 4 courses, the change of patients＇ sleep structure before and after trea{ment was tested by polysomnography. Self-control statistical methods were used to analyze the data. Results： Acupuncture had certain effects on the improvement of falt and broken sleep structure, and al- so absolutely or relatively lengthened the time of slow-wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture can repair the sleep structure, remold its continuity to a certain extent, and lengthen the time of slow-wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep, which is the main mechanism of improving sleep quality by acupuncture.
