Supplements for sleep
The most well-known and widely used supplement for sleep, melatonin has only been allowed to be sold in a 0.3 mg dosage since 2020.
Since then, 2 other substances for sleep, valerian and California poppy, have risen sharply in popularity
In addition to loose valerian and nightcap, there are several Formula products for better sleep.
The importance of a good night's sleep
A good night's sleep is essential for good health. During sleep, the body can recover from the efforts of the past day. When sleep is not good or too short, this recovery process cannot take place properly, and this can have consequences, especially in the long run.
During sleep we go through several stages,from light sleep to a real deep sleep. In this deep sleep, physical recovery takes place. During the phase in which we dream, the information of the day is processed.
There can be several causes of poor sleep. Often (chronic) stress plays a role, but it can also have to do with insufficient nutrients to produce melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that is essential for the sleep-wake rhythm, also called circadian rhythm and thus for a good night's sleep.
Influence screens
The production of melatonin is also inhibited by blue light from screens. Of course, it is best to avoid using a laptop, tablet or phone well before bedtime. If this is still necessary, use special evening and night settings if possible. The blue light will then be replaced by yellow light.
