Améliorer votre sommeil

Improve your sleep

Summary of the article

Good quality sleep is essential to our well-being. We offer natural solutions using trace elements to help you achieve peaceful and restorative nights.

The brain is never at rest

The brain is intimately linked to the sleep process: it is the activity of a complex network of neurons distributed throughout the hypothalamus and brainstem that regulates our sleep. Our metabolism goes into standby mode and our temperature drops, thus conserving our energy.

During our sleep, we have 4 to 6 cycles of 90 to 110 minutes including 4 phases.

The 4 phases of sleep

  • falling asleep

    Our consciousness is still active, the body passes from wakefulness to sleep.

  • light sleep

    Partial consciousness, muscles relax.

  • deep sleep

    Heart rate and breathing slow down; this is the restorative phase of our sleep. Protein synthesis and cell division increase, as does the secretion of certain hormones.

  • REM sleep

    This is the phase during which we dream, the brain assimilates the events of the day, the nervous system regenerates, the neural circuits strengthen and their membranes stabilize.

Insomnia

It is essential to identify the origin of your insomnia in order to find the appropriate treatment: are they linked to stress, anxiety, digestive problems or menopause?

primary insomnia

Difficulty falling asleep or disturbed sleep can cause apprehension at bedtime and lead to chronic primary insomnia. Thus conditioned, the insomniac becomes trapped in a vicious circle.

secondary insomnia

They are linked to many pathologies (insomnia with comorbidity). Taking medication, fever, chronic pain, breathing difficulties, can also be a source of secondary insomnia.

Parasomnias

Parasomnias are abnormal behaviors related to sleep or falling asleep. Some are harmless, while others can be recurrent and cause stress, trauma, and insomnia.

They can have a genetic (bedwetting) or pathological origin, but most often they are linked to our psyche: fatigue, stress, worries, trauma, etc.

Internal clock disorders

Jet lag, night work, and various illnesses can disrupt your internal clock.

They are linked to a dysfunction in melatonin secretion. Secretion that is too late in the evening disrupts sleep onset and makes waking up difficult (phase delay). Secretion that is too early in the afternoon causes drowsiness and early morning awakenings (phase advance).

Sleep apnea

Brief, more or less frequent breathing pauses during the night, sleep apnea, if frequent, can have serious implications. In addition to fatigue problems, the lack of oxygen increases the risk of hypertension and therefore cardiovascular disease. It mostly affects men.

Sleep apnea primarily affects men. Certain factors can trigger it, such as obesity, alcohol, or tobacco. Identifying its origin allows for effective treatment.

Narcolepsy

Unfortunately, this disease has no cure. We offer natural solutions to help you live better with it, improve sleep quality, and regulate your emotions.

Narcolepsy is thought to be linked to a deficiency in hypocretin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating sleep and wakefulness. This condition increases the risk of infections and immune system failure, which can also lead to inflammation of nerve cells and even the destruction of those that produce hypocretin. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this condition.

Restless legs

Repetitive muscle twitching of the legs (sometimes arms), tingling, burning sensations, this syndrome occurs at rest, during the falling asleep phase or during sleep.

A genetic factor could be one of the reasons for this syndrome: it often appears in the same family. It is thought that a disorder in the secretion of dopamine (a neurotransmitter that plays a major role in nervous system communication and in the regulation of major brain functions: memory, motivation, concentration, etc.) could be at the origin of this syndrome.

Trace elements

energy for the body

Being sick means that we are functioning poorly or “less well”. It is therefore bio-logical, that is to say logical with life, to use the elements that naturally make our metabolisms work to rebalance them and regain health.

  •  

    Emotional balance

    Harmonize your nervous system to enable it to better manage stress or anxiety.

    Trancoligo
  •  

    Immunity

    Strengthen your immunity so that the body can defend itself more effectively.

    Immunoligo
  •  

    Digestion

    Optimize digestive functions and lighten the evening meal to avoid stomach aches, bloating, diarrhea, etc.

    Digestoligo
  •  

    Menopause

    Sex hormone production declines during menopause. Regulating the hormonal system can help alleviate symptoms.

    Menoligo
  •  

    Overweight

    Oligotherapy drainage helps eliminate toxins and facilitates weight loss.

    Drainoligo
  •  

    Energy

    Supporting the overall balance of metabolisms allows for better energy management throughout the day.

  • The bed is not a place to live, it should be dedicated to sleep.
