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) Lemon balm: promotes sleep and relieves nervousness and tension. Lemon balm is found in sleep gummies. Combined with valerian, it is said to be as effective as a chemical sleeping pill.

2) Chamomile: this flower promotes relaxation and physical and mental well-being. It therefore helps combat minor insomnia.

3) Linden: soothes and relaxes the body. When brewed as a tea, linden flowers help combat insomnia. Bonne Nuit sleep gummies contain linden to help you fall asleep.

4) Valerian: This flower activates the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid, often abbreviated as GABA. This neurotransmitter has a calming and relaxing effect on the body, making it easier to fall asleep. Valerian is therefore ideal for alleviating mild sleep disorders. It can be consumed in the form of sleep gummies.

5) California poppy: this plant, also known as Eschscholtzia, promotes relaxation and improves the quality of natural sleep. It helps you fall asleep quickly thanks to its sedative and anxiolytic properties.

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.

The decline in the quantity—and quality—of sleep is most often the result of a combination of factors that become ingrained in our daily lives over the long term.
