Natural sleep aids

Natural sleep aids are nutritional supplements that can help you fall asleep faster and more easily. This is due to their relaxing and/or sleep-inducing effects.

How do natural sleep aids work?

If you have trouble falling asleep, there are generally two reasons. First, you might not produce enough of the sleep hormone melatonin. This can be due to various reasons, such as diet, lifestyle, or a reduced level of serotonin, the happiness hormone, in your body. Natural sleep aids help with melatonin production.

Secondly, not being relaxed before bed can be a reason you don't fall asleep well. This can be due to stress, anxiety, working late, or doing active activities late at night. Natural sleep aids help you relax before bed.

Supplements to fall asleep faster

Supplements that help you fall asleep faster are often based on the sleep hormone melatonin. Consider, for example, the following substances:

Melatonin: This is the sleep hormone, which also occurs naturally in the body. It can help shorten the time it takes to fall asleep.
- Griffonia extract: This extract contains 5-HTP, which is the building block for serotonin. This, in turn, is the building block for melatonin, the sleep hormone.
- Vitamins and minerals , such as zinc, magnesium, vitamin B3, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, which help in the production of melatonin.

Supplements that help you relax

Several herbs help you relax naturally. These include valerian, passionflower, and chamomile, all of which are calming plant extracts. Rhodiola rosea is also an adaptogenic herb, used for centuries for mental balance and stress reduction.

There are also supplements based on the presence of GABA. This is a neurotransmitter found in our bodies that helps us slow down and relax. A supplement containing it is natural and non-addictive, unlike medications that stimulate GABA production.

Ashwagandha is also a unique supplement because of its versatile and adaptogenic effects. It's not only beneficial for sleep and relaxation, but also for energy, cognition, and mood, among other things.

We would also like to give you a few tips to fall asleep faster:
- Don't eat anything for three hours before bedtime. This lowers your body temperature, which helps you fall asleep faster.
- Wind down the day gently. For example, do something relaxing an hour before bed, such as taking a bath, reading, meditating, or taking a warm shower.
- Do not drink caffeine after 12 noon.
