Why healthy sleep is so important?

If you suffer from sleep disorders, you probably know the pressure you put on yourself before going to bed.

You hope that you will finally find the restful sleep you desperately need tonight. This pressure is especially high when you have to get up very early in the morning with an alarm clock.

You watch the clock every hour and count the hours you could still sleep until you have to get up. This can turn into a vicious cycle where the nights seem endless.

Why is healthy sleep so important?

According to the Statista Global Consumer Survey, 91% of respondents said that their quality of life is greatly influenced by sleep. (Source below).

Health problems related to lack of sleep:

• Performance decline
• Concentration problems
• Higher risk of diabetes
• Stress and headaches
• Higher risk of heart attack
• Higher probability of developing mental illnesses

After just one restless night, you will feel tired and exhausted. Your concentration will decrease, you will often experience increased cravings and your mood will also deteriorate.

After 3-4 days of sleeping less than 5 hours, symptoms may occur that feel like you are drunk. This is because lack of sleep increases the secretion of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that reduces reaction and concentration.

But what happens during sleep that a deficiency has such extreme effects on our health?

During sleep, our body runs a kind of cleaning program. Biological processes to break down toxins and pollutants run at full speed, fat is burned and the liver's sugar stores are emptied.

Our brain also recovers during sleep. In the REM phase, it processes emotional impressions of the day. This is also the phase where you dream the most.

That's why traditional sleep aids are not a solution! When suffering from insomnia, doctors often give their patients sleeping pills. Chemical-based sleep aids have a sedative effect at the same time.

They also regularly cause headaches, nausea, daytime tiredness, impaired concentration, reduced responsiveness and ultimately physical dependence. **

Traditional sleep aids are therefore not a recommended solution.

Our best tips for falling asleep and sleeping through the night

Tip number 1:

Take our "sleep well" Our "sleep well" contains the hormone melatonin, among other things. Melatonin is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for regulating the sleep-wake cycle. Our product helps you to fall asleep faster and to sleep through the night.

Tip number 2:

Avoid screens before bedtime The blue light emitted by screens disrupts the production of melatonin and makes it harder to fall asleep. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid screens for at least an hour before going to bed.

Tip number 3:

Create a sleep-friendly environment A dark, cool and quiet room is ideal for sleep. A comfortable bed and pillows also contribute to a restful sleep.

Tip number 4:

Establish a bedtime routine A consistent bedtime routine signals to the body that it is time to wind down and sleep. This can include activities such as reading, taking a warm bath or listening to calming music.

Tip number 5:

Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime Caffeine and alcohol can disrupt the natural sleep-wake cycle and make it harder to fall asleep. It is therefore advisable to avoid these substances for at least a few hours before bedtime.

We hope these tips will help you get a better night's sleep. If you have persistent sleep problems, it is always advisable to see a doctor.
