Tired of sleepless nights and worried about more medication? Have you tried many sleep aids only to feel groggy or still tired? If insomnia has drained your energy and focus you’re looking for a real solution. There is hope available besides over-the-counter remedies.​

The Insomnia Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything

Chronic insomnia can leave you feeling completely drained, easily annoyed, and unable to cope during the day. You might have tried sleeping pills, but maybe you got groggy, became dependent, or didn’t feel any better.  Your doctor might say it’s just stress or suggest another medication. But nothing really brings back the restful sleep you need.  Lots of people experience this. 

The thing is, insomnia isn’t often caused by a simple imbalance of chemicals that pills can fix. Your sleep problems could be due to something else entirely: brain circuits that are firing incorrectly, keeping you awake when you need to be winding down. Sleeping pills don’t address those electrical problems in your brain’s sleep system.

What is TMS Therapy for Insomnia?

TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a way to stimulate the brain without surgery. It’s FDA-approved and uses magnetic pulses to help reset the brain circuits involved in your sleep-wake cycle. It works differently than medication, which often just covers up the symptoms or can lead to dependence. TMS aims to fix the actual problem with the brain circuits that cause chronic insomnia.

For people with ongoing sleep problems, TMS focuses on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the posterior parietal cortex, brain areas that become overactive insomnia. This overactivity keeps you from falling into restful sleep.  TMS delivers precise magnetic pulses to these areas to calm the excessive neural firing. It helps balance your brain’s arousal systems and rebuild healthy sleep patterns. This treatment changes how certain brain chemicals are released and restores the circuits that affect falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up feeling refreshed.

Why Our Insomnia Program is Different

SeeBeyond Medicine focuses on optimizing your brain. We know lasting sleep comes from more than just stimulating it. Insomnia isn’t usually a simple problem with a single brain circuit. Things like neurotransmitter imbalances, nutritional gaps, inflammation, and lifestyle play a big role – things that many standard TMS clinics miss. That’s why we created our Enhanced TMS Protocol. It’s a full, functional medicine approach. We tackle every piece of your sleep dysfunction to get you lasting results.

Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes four integrated components:

Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)

Before starting TMS, we check your baseline. We look at serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and other brain chemicals important for sleep. It’s not just guessing. We use real data to see what’s happening in your brain chemistry. After TMS, we retest. This shows the actual changes in your neurotransmitter levels. We’re talking about measurable changes, proving your brain is healing at a fundamental level.

Calm IV Therapy

During your TMS treatment, you’ll get a special intravenous nutrient therapy. It’s designed to ease anxiety, calm your nervous system, and help your brain make neurotransmitters effectively. Our Calm IV includes magnesium, it’s a natural mineral that promotes relaxation and B Vitamins. These vitamins help create serotonin and melatonin, which are important for mood and sleep. This infusion helps set the right chemical environment in your brain so it can respond better to TMS stimulation.

Acupuncture Sessions

We use acupuncture as part of your treatment. It can help TMS work even better, lower inflammation throughout your body, and boost BDNF. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor is a protein that’s really important for your brain to heal and form new, healthy connections.  Acupuncture can also help regulate your nervous system. It helps move your body from a stressed-out state – the “fight or flight” response – to a calmer state – “rest and digest” – which is key for good sleep.

Health Coach Brain Health Sessions 

Your journey includes personalized one-on-one sessions with our dedicated health coach, who will guide you through evidence-based strategies for sleep hygiene, circadian rhythm optimization, stress management, nutrition, and targeted supplementation. We address every lifestyle factor that influences your brain’s ability to achieve restorative sleep, ensuring your TMS results extend far beyond the treatment room.

Is TMS for Insomnia Right for You?

TMS therapy for insomnia may be an ideal solution if you identify with any of the following:

  • You’ve struggled with chronic insomnia for months or years, and conventional treatments haven’t provided lasting relief
  • You’re frustrated by the side effects, dependency, or limited effectiveness of sleeping pills and sedative medications
  • You’re seeking a non-pharmacological, non-invasive solution that addresses the root cause of your sleep dysfunction rather than masking symptoms
  • You’re experiencing daytime fatigue, brain fog, irritability, or reduced productivity due to poor sleep quality
  • You understand that optimal health requires more than quick fixes—you’re ready to invest in a comprehensive, evidence-based program that supports true brain healing
  • You want measurable results backed by objective testing, not just subjective improvements

It’s important to note that while TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, its use for insomnia is considered off-label, based on promising emerging research demonstrating significant improvements in sleep quality and sleep architecture. At SeeBeyond Medicine, we stay at the forefront of functional neurology, offering cutting-edge treatments supported by clinical evidence and tailored to your individual needs.​

Your Questions About TMS for Insomnia

What does TMS for insomnia feel like?

Most patients describe TMS as a gentle tapping sensation on the scalp during treatment. The magnetic pulses create a rhythmic tapping feeling at the treatment site, which most people find tolerable and even relaxing. There is no anesthesia required, no sedation, and no downtime. You remain fully awake and alert during each session, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward.

How long is a TMS session?

Each TMS session typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on your personalized treatment protocol. Most insomnia treatment plans involve daily sessions, five days per week, for four to six weeks. The exact duration and frequency will be customized based on your specific brain mapping, symptom severity, and response to treatment.

Why do you combine TMS with functional medicine?

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we recognize that isolated brain stimulation, while powerful, is not sufficient for lasting transformation. Your brain doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Neurotransmitter production depends on proper nutrition. Neural inflammation interferes with circuit function. Stress hormones disrupt sleep architecture. By combining TMS with neurotransmitter optimization, targeted IV therapy, acupuncture, and lifestyle coaching, we create the ideal conditions for your brain to heal completely and maintain healthy sleep patterns long after treatment ends.

Is TMS for insomnia covered by insurance?

SeeBeyond Medicine is a concierge, functional medicine practice that does not accept insurance. We believe that optimal, individualized care cannot be constrained by insurance company protocols and reimbursement limitations. Our Enhanced TMS Protocol represents a premium investment in your long-term health, comprehensive wellness, and quality of life. We focus on delivering superior outcomes through evidence-based, root-cause medicine, not rushing through insurance-driven appointments.

Will I need to stop my current sleep medications?

Not necessarily. Many patients continue their existing medications at the start of TMS treatment. However, as your brain circuits rebalance and your sleep quality improves, Dr. Lee will work closely with you and your prescribing physician to carefully taper medications when appropriate. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate your dependence on pharmaceutical sleep aids by restoring your brain’s natural ability to regulate sleep.

How quickly will I notice improvements in my sleep?

Many patients begin noticing subtle improvements in sleep quality within the first two weeks of treatment, with progressive gains throughout the full TMS course. However, individual responses vary based on the duration and severity of your insomnia, your overall health status, and your adherence to the comprehensive protocol. Our neurotransmitter testing provides objective data on your progress, allowing us to adjust your treatment plan for optimal results.​

What happens after I complete the TMS program?

Unlike medications that stop working when you stop taking them, TMS creates lasting changes in your brain’s neural circuitry. Most patients experience sustained improvements in sleep quality for months or even years after completing treatment. We’ll develop a personalized maintenance plan that may include periodic “booster” sessions, ongoing nutritional support, and continued health coaching to protect and extend your results.
