The program includes acupuncture and naturopathic treatments, which work to calm an overactive nervous system and regulate hormones; hydrotherapy and therapeutic massages, which release tension held deep in the body and ease physical restlessness; and yoga, pranayama, and guided meditation, which slow the breath, quiet racing thoughts, and gently guide the body back into its natural rhythm of rest. It is the coming together of all of these, in one considered rhythm, that allows deep, lasting sleep to return.

Acupuncture is the primary treatment modality in the Pema Deep Sleep Sanctuary. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the body's energy meridians to calm the nervous system, regulate sleep hormones, and restore the body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
