EFT Tapping for sleep could just be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
Are you one of the one in three people in the United States who report not getting enough sleep every day? Or perhaps you’re part of the estimated 50 to 70 million people grappling with an ongoing sleep disorder?[1,2]
The struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed is real. And it’s also an issue that we can’t afford to ignore!
According to the CDC, sleep deprivation affects both our mental and physical health. It can impact our focus, productivity, memory, and decision-making skills, and it can also lead to increased risk for chronic health conditions. Sleep issues make it hard to get through the day, and they can also affect our health in the long run.[3]
The bottom line is that sleep is important.
We all know we need good sleep. But the trouble is, we don’t always know how to get it! Luckily, that is where EFT Tapping for sleep comes into play.
In this post, we’ll cover:
- What is EFT Tapping?
- How does EFT Tapping for sleep work?
- Real-life stories of sleep transformation
- Using The Tapping Solution App for sleep support
- The best Tapping meditations for sleep
What is EFT Tapping?
Tapping, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is grounded in the principles of both modern psychology and traditional Chinese medicine.
The technique involves using your fingertips to tap on specific meridian points of the body. Tapping on these acupoints, which we call EFT Tapping points, helps to release strong emotions, reduce stress, and induce relaxation in both brain and body. It is simple and effective, it’s all natural, and the best part is you can do Tapping by yourself (from the comfort of your own home, without any fancy gadgets or supplements)!

How does EFT Tapping for sleep work?
Tapping for sleep works by inducing a state of relaxation and calm in mind and body.
When we are stressed, anxious, or overloaded with thoughts, our body is in a state of “fight or flight,” making it difficult to sleep. Tapping helps to switch off the “fight or flight” response and activate the “rest and digest” response, which prepares our bodies for sleep.
Research has shown that EFT Tapping can decrease activity in the amygdala, the part of your brain responsible for controlling fear and stress responses (“fight or flight”). It even reduces cortisol, the stress hormone.[4,5]
All of this makes Tapping a great tool for sleep. By helping your brain and your entire body to calm down and relax in a very real way, it puts you into a state of being where sleep can come easily.
When done regularly before bedtime, Tapping can help you create a healthy sleep routine and signal to your body that it’s time to wind down and prepare for a restful slumber.
Tapping can also be beneficial for sleep when used at any time of day. When you use Tapping throughout the day to address stress and release strong emotions, you set yourself up for better sleep later on when it’s finally time for your head to hit the pillow.

Tapping really is one of the best ways I know to improve sleep quality.
But don’t just take my word for it! There are thousands of people who have used Tapping themselves to finally change their sleep patterns for the better.
Real-life stories of sleep transformation
Tapping has been shown to help people fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up more refreshed.
I have heard thousands of real-life stories over the years from people who have first-hand experience with the transformative power of EFT for insomnia and sleep issues.
Take, for example, Joanne. Joanne had trouble sleeping for years, and she had tried every herbal remedy and natural sleep aid on the planet with mixed results. She started our Sleep Challenge Tapping meditations and was amazed by the difference. She says, “I figured, what the hell – I have nothing to lose. Well, the miraculous truth is that I am sleeping much, much better. And for me, this is huge. Each day when I do the tapping, my body relaxes a little more… I am seeing real progress with this… This tapping series has made a life-changing difference for me.“
Jane noticed significant improvements in her sleep patterns after just three days of Tapping, saying, “Oh my goodness. The difference to my energy after the three days of sleep tapping. I can see from my fitness tracker my sleep is improved.”
She goes on to explain, “This morning I had to be up at 5:45 for work. Normally that would mean a poor night’s sleep and difficulty getting up. Not today. Slept soundly until my alarm.”
And then there’s Vanessa. Vanessa had narcolepsy and chronic sleep issues for years. But Tapping finally turned things around for her. You can hear Vanessa herself explain the transformation in this video.
