Description
These herbs and compounds are known for their calming and sleep-promoting effects. Here’s how each one helps with sleep:
1. Valerian Root – A natural sedative that increases GABA levels in the brain, promoting relaxation and reducing the time needed to fall asleep.
2. Chamomile – Contains apigenin, an antioxidant that binds to receptors in the brain to promote sleepiness and reduce insomnia symptoms.
3. Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that lowers cortisol levels, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, which can improve sleep quality.
4. Hops – Often used with valerian, hops contain compounds that have sedative effects, helping to induce sleep and improve sleep duration.
5. L-Theanine – Found in green tea, this amino acid promotes relaxation by increasing alpha brain waves and boosting GABA, serotonin, and dopamine levels.
6. Rhodiola Rosea – An adaptogen that helps regulate the body’s stress response, potentially improving sleep by reducing anxiety and mental fatigue.
7. Lavender – The scent and essential oil have been shown to promote relaxation, lower heart rate, and improve overall sleep quality.
8. California Poppy Contains sedative properties that help with mild insomnia, reducing nighttime restlessness and promoting deep sleep.
9. Melissa (Lemon Balm) – Has calming effects, helps reduce anxiety, and may improve sleep by interacting with GABA receptors.
