Which plants are best for nighttime wake-ups?
Written on January 19, 2025, by Pauline de Santarome
The waking up during the night are a real scourge, causing poor sleep, often leading to severe fatigue during the day, a certain mental unease, and can make people more vulnerable to various illnesses. It is therefore essential to regain quality sleep; in this context, plants are an obvious solution. Their virtues have been recognized for centuries and their benefits are scientifically proven.
We explain everything you need to know about the benefits of plants for dealing with nighttime awakenings, with the help ofsleep gummies.
5 plants to help you sleep better
Here are five plants that help combat sleep disorders and improve sleep, to be consumed in the form of sleep supplements such as sleep gummies, ampoules, capsules, or tablets:
1) la mélisse : elle favorise l’endormissement et soulage la nervosité et la tension. On retrouve la mélisse dans la composition de gummies sommeil. Combinée à la valériane, elle serait aussi efficace qu’un somnifère chimique.
2) la camomille : cette fleur aide à la relaxation, ainsi qu’au bien-être physique et mental. Elle aide donc à lutter contre les insomnies mineures.
3) le tilleul : il apaise et relaxe le corps. En infusion, les fleurs de tilleul aident à lutter contre l’insomnie. Les gummies sommeil Bonne nuit contiennent notamment du tilleul, pour faciliter l’endormissement.
4) la valériane : cette fleur active la libération de l’acide γ-aminobutyrique, souvent abrégé en GABA. Ce neurotransmetteur procure un effet calmant et relaxant sur le corps, et facilite ainsi l’endormissement. La valériane est donc tout indiquée pour apaiser les troubles légers du sommeil. On peut la consommer sous forme de gummies sommeil.
5) le pavot de Californie : cette plante, aussi appelée Eschscholtzia, favorise la relaxation et améliore la qualité du sommeil naturel. Elle aide à s’endormir rapidement grâce à ses vertus sédatives et anxiolytiques.
In what form should plants suitable for nighttime waking be taken?
● Capsules: Melatonin capsules combined with plants that promote sleep and limit waking up during the night, such as linden, valerian, passionflower, and California poppy. Melatonin, also known as the sleep hormone, taken as a treatment, helps reset the biological clock, gradually reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. It is also effective in alleviating the effects of jet lag. The Melatonin Sleep dietary supplement also contains a trio of hawthorn, fig, and linden buds. This treatment should be taken for 3 weeks, at a rate of one ampoule per day, to be taken before bedtime with a large glass of water.
● Spray: for those who prefer this format, it is possible to consume plants that promote sleep in spray form, to be sprayed under the tongue at bedtime. Santarome spray, made from bud macerates, is a valuable ally for those who struggle to fall asleep.
●Herbal teas: Many herbal teas help you relax in the evening and fall asleep more easily. Examples include lemon balm, lime blossom, lavender, chamomile, and fennel. They should be drunk hot before bedtime. Discover Santarome Bio's Bonne Nuit Bio herbal teas.
● Tablets: There are also dietary supplements for sleep in tablet form. They should be taken at a dose of one tablet per day with a large glass of water (20 cl) in the evening before bedtime.
● Gummies: no need for a glass of water to consume these delicious blackcurrant-flavored chewable gummies! Santarome's organic sleep gummies contain lemon balm, chamomile, California poppy, linden, and valerian. These plants help promote sleep, relax the body and mind, and provide peaceful, quality sleep.
In addition to sleep gummies, consider adopting a healthy lifestyle. Sleep in a well-ventilated room during the day, and don't overheat it. Avoid screens in the hour before bedtime. Use this time to read a book, relax, take a bath, drink herbal tea, and prepare your body for sleep.
If you wake up, stay calm, breathe slowly, and don't try to go back to sleep at all costs, to avoid further stress. If your sleep problems persist despite everything, or if you have a health problem that could cause you to wake up at night and disrupt REM sleep, don't hesitate to consult a sleep specialist.
