失眠症狀最常表現為不易入睡、多夢和易醒，其現代醫學睡眠機制複雜，藉由回顧睡眠機制，了解睡眠和中樞神經系統、內生性物質，甚至是基因都有相關性。根據中醫理論，睡眠建立在正常的衛氣運轉和陰陽交泰，病機和營衛運行、經絡通暢、臟腑損傷等相關。“乾坤線”位在兩耳後枕骨下橫線，為翳風、安眠1、翳明、安眠2、風池等五穴位的連線，無論在現代醫學或中醫上，都有其治療失眠的理論依據。臨床上吳宏乾醫師常使用“乾坤線”治療失眠，療效明確。

The symptoms of insomnia are often presented as being uneasy to fall asleep, dreaminess and easy to wake up. The mechanism of sleeping in modern medicine is complicated; therefore, we try to understand it by reviewing sleeping mechanism and understanding correlations between sleeping and the central nervous system, endogenous substance and even genes. According to Chinese medical theory, sleeping is based on normal operation of Defensive Qi and alternating harmony between Yin and Yang. The pathogenesis of sleeping is correlated with the operation of Defensive Qi and Nutritive Qi, the circulation of energy through Meridian, and damages of internal organs. ”Qian-kun Line” is located in the horizontal line below the occipital bone within the ears, it's the conjunction line of 5 acupoints including Yi-feng, 1st An-mian , Yi-ming, 2nd An-mian and Feng-chi. It is efficient in curing insomnia by the Qian-kun line, which is supported by theoretical basis in modern medicine or Chinese medicine. Clinically, Dr. Hong-Chian Wu often applies acupuncture on the Qian-Kun Line to treat insomnia and definite satisfactory results are found.
