What is a Sleep Aid?
A sleep aid is a tablet or supplement taken to assist with going to sleep. Sleep aids help to reduce the difficulty in falling asleep. Reasons that some people may be experiencing issues with sleeping are because of physical conditions such as heartburn, diabetes, kidney disease also mental health problems, neurological disorders, respiratory problems. People taking medication such as antidepressants or blood pressure medication can also experience issues with sleep.
Night shift workers can often experience sleep disorders because they cannot sleep when they feel drowsy as their working hours are over the natural time that occurs for their bodies to sleep. Their routine and activities run opposite to their biological clock.
As we get older, almost half of adults aged 65 and over have a form of a sleep disorder.
Getting enough sleep is crucial to our day to day functioning, overall health and performance in activities whether it be at work or in our social lives. A good sleep pattern also helps us to maintain the ability to solve problems and maintain a positive and healthy mental state and outlook.
Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone made by a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles. The body clock also known as the biological clock is the control of physiological activities in our bodies which can change on a daily, seasonal, yearly, or regular basis. The body clock also controls how much melatonin your body makes.
Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours. In basic terms, high melatonin levels allow us to sleep peacefully and low melatonin levels cause us to wake.
Light can also affects how much melatonin your body produces. During the shorter days of the winter months when it gets dark early evening, your body may produce melatonin earlier in the day.
You can buy Melatonin as a supplement. Melatonin supplements are sometimes used to treat jet lag, when our bodies are out of sync with our time zone, or sleep problems. Melatonin has also been recognized as a solution to:
- Preventing or reducing problems with sleeping and confusion after surgery
- Reducing chronic headaches
- Reduce anxiety
