Many underestimate the sleep and its capacities importance on our health. Indeed, it is important for our mental but also physical and psychic balance to sleep properly.
However, many elements can disturb it, and stress is one of them. Unfortunately, many people suffer from daytime stress that prevents them from having a “good” night. It is estimated that an adult person sleeps well when he or she sleeps 7 to 8 hours.

Stress and poor sleep create a vicious circle. Poor quality sleep will be the cause of fatigue and difficulty in functioning during the day, especially that of stimulating the state of wakefulness and vigilance. It is also at the origin of the secretion of hormones in two stages: first adrenaline then cortisol.
They keep the body in a state of wakefulness and provide a high level of energy so that it can cope with stress. This leads to great difficulty falling asleep.
Stress, therefore, affects sleep which, once altered, will increase stress.

But how can we protect our sleep from this stress?

• First of all, it is interesting to target the cause of stress in order to control it as well as possible by oneself.
  Relaxation can be an alternative to stress management and can help reduce mental and physical tension that disrupts sleep.
  Analyze your sleep with a sleep diary.
  Having good bedding is also very important as it puts the person in good sleeping conditions and can reduce body tension.
  Thinking about pleasant things
  Phytotherapy can improve the quality of sleep. Certain plants (valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, etc.) can be recommended in the treatment of primary insomnia associated with advice on good sleep hygiene.
