Nobilin Sleep - Detailed information

Tired but can't fall asleep

In the long term, insufficient restful sleep poses a serious health risk. According to a pioneer in sleep research, the US-American William C. Dement, 90 percent of our health is related to sufficient, good sleep.

Unfortunately, many people in Germany can only "dream" of a good night's sleep. According to a study by the Robert Koch Institute, one-third of the adult population suffers from difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep three times a week or more often. In a survey conducted by DAK-Gesundheit, as many as 80 percent of adults complained of sleep problems.

Why don't we sleep well?

Unfortunately, many people in Germany can only "dream" of a good night's sleep.

In a survey conducted by DAK-Gesundheit, as many as 80 percent of adults complain of sleep problems.

What inhibits the sleep hormone melatonin?

This can have many causes. Sleep thieves include stress, hectic schedules, depression, long flights with jet lag, and elevated nighttime temperatures such as tropical nights. In women, hormonal changes such as menopause can lead to, among other things, difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. This should not be underestimated.

The release of the "Sandman hormone" melatonin is crucial for good sleep. Too much light in the bedroom and prolonged staring at screens before bedtime inhibit melatonin production. Melatonin is primarily released in the body in the dark.

What herbal sleep aids and over-the-counter sleeping pills are available?

In addition to exercise, meditation, evening rituals, and screen-free time before bedtime, herbal remedies support good sleep and sleep through the night. These include preparations that combine lavender with other plants, such as valerian, hops, or passionflower. Combining several calming herbs can significantly increase the sleep-promoting effect of a herbal preparation. Products containing melatonin are particularly popular as a gentle sleep aid. Melatonin also combines excellently with classic medicinal plants such as lavender and passionflower.

Other remedies for sleep disorders

Other ingredients are also increasingly being discussed when it comes to healthy and natural sleep aids. Certain B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and D and the mineral magnesium, are particularly recommended for sleeping through the night. These support the body, which is by no means inactive during sleep, in its nightly "repair work." Vitamin B6 and magnesium, in particular, also play a key role in the conversion of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, the "happiness hormone," and melatonin, the "sleep hormone." Combinations of plant substances with melatonin and L-tryptophan are therefore usefully supplemented with magnesium and vitamin B6.
