Individuals with significant cognitive impairment or schizophrenia, or those with poor comprehension or communication skills who cannot adequately describe their insomnia condition; 4. Individuals with unstable vital signs and comorbid serious chronic diseases; 5. Individuals with intracranial implanted metal or electronic devices; 6. Individuals with cranial defects or those who have undergone metal cranial reconstruction surgery; 7. Patients with bleeding tendencies (e.g., acute cerebral hemorrhage, coagulation disorders) should be used with caution; 8. Patients with implanted electronic devices are contraindicated (e.g., pacemaker carriers); 9. Non-compliant individuals who cannot complete the course of treatment as required; 10.
