times as a sedative.
Hops - best known for flavoring in beer, they have been used by such
people as King Henry VIII for their calming effect.
Passion Flower - used by Native Americans for its calming effect.
Chamomile - commonly used in teas, chamomile acts as a smooth muscle
relaxant.
Skullcap - entered into the U.S. Pharmacopoeia in 1863, skullcap has
been used for its soothing effect.
Calcium - needed for normal nerve transmission.
Magnesium - a smooth muscle and skeletal muscle relaxant. It is important
for normal nerve transmission.
B6 - critical in the bioavailability of serotonin which is a precursor to
melatonin (a hormone produced by the pineal gland and associated with
sleep).
Though not considered critical to the function of the body, sleep is essential
to the well being of the mind. Lack of sleep affects the function of the
central nervous system and can cause malfunctioning of the brain.
Let's take it a step further. There are two types of sleep: slow wave and
paradoxical. Slow wave sleep is a deep, restful, dreamless sleep.
Paradoxical sleep, also known as REM, is associated with an active dream
state. Why is this important? Because the time between these two types of
sleep affects how you feel in the morning. Paradoxical sleep occurs every
90 minutes and usually lasts 5-20 minutes. If a person is exhausted and not
getting enough sleep, they will spend more time in this stage. The time
between each REM stage increases when an individual is tired, and
decreases when they are rested. In other words, you dream more when
you're rested.
Your ability to sleep is affected by many physiological and psychological
factors. These factors can include physical activity, stress, and
preoccupation with thought (racing thoughts).
