Sleep Well Naturally: Solutions for Insomnia | Maryline Hourlier
Insomnia affects 1 in 3 French people. Natural remedies address the causes and restore deep, restorative sleep without creating dependence.
Sleep essential oils
- True lavender: 2 drops on the pillow or diffused 30 minutes before bedtime
- Sweet marjoram: powerful natural sedative, ideal for anxiety-related insomnia
- Roman chamomile: soothes agitated thoughts, for children and adults alike
Sleep plants
Valerian combined with lemon balm and hops forms the ideal phytotherapeutic trio against insomnia. To be taken as an infusion 30 minutes before bedtime.
Sleep hygiene
Turning off screens 1 hour before bed is the most impactful measure. A cool room (17-19°C), in complete darkness, reserved exclusively for sleep.
Evening chrono-nutrition
Tryptophan (turkey, banana, nuts, lentils) naturally promotes melatonin production. Consume it in the evening to facilitate falling asleep.
