Sleep disorders: what are the causes?


Insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or frequent waking—sleep disorders can be caused by various psychological, physiological, or environmental factors:


1. Psychological and emotional factors: Stress is one of the most common causes of sleep disorders.


2. Sleep schedule: Going to bed and waking up at different times each day, as well as taking late naps, can disrupt your sleep schedule.


3. Unfavorable environment: A noisy, overly warm, or overly bright environment can also make it more difficult to fall asleep.


4. Consumption of stimulants: caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco can all disrupt sleep.


5. Screens before bedtime: The blue light emitted by screens can disrupt the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.


6. Hormones: Pregnant women may suffer from sleep disorders, including insomnia and fatigue. Menopause and andropause can also disrupt sleep.


7. Aging: Sleep tends to deteriorate with age.


8. Medical causes: if your sleep problems persist over time, don't hesitate to talk to your doctor so that you can receive appropriate treatment.

The 6 best bud macerates for sleep


These plant extracts, rich in active ingredients, offer a gentle and effective approach to promoting relaxation and sleep. Among the multitude of choices available, some stand out for their specific benefits on sleep quality.


1. Fig tree 

The fig tree is a natural remedy with calming and digestive properties. Promoting quality sleep, it relieves stress, disorders such as constipation and bloating, and improves digestion.


2. Linden tree

Linden is a plant with many benefits. It calms nervousness, aids digestion, relaxes muscles, and relieves respiratory problems. Linden bud macerate promotes sleep thanks to the p-coumaric acid and flavonoids it contains.


3. Hawthorn

Hawthorn is known for its heart rate regulating properties. It works by strengthening the contraction of the heart muscle and slowing it down slightly. At the same time, its vasodilator effect facilitates blood circulation. Hawthorn therefore contributes to better blood flow to the muscles and can even help lower blood pressure.


4. Valerian

Valerian is a valuable ally in the fight against anxiety and stress thanks to its natural sedative properties. Its mechanism of action is based on stimulating the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, a neurotransmitter known for its calming properties.


5. Passionflower

The flavonoids and alkaloids present in passionflower act on the central nervous system to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. These substances stimulate the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, thus playing a crucial role in mood regulation.


6. Juniper

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic properties, juniper helps relieve inflammation caused by toxins affecting the joints. A natural detoxifier, it is also known for its liver-draining properties.
