The close links between stress and sleep
As we saw in the introduction, rest is a natural phenomenon and essential to the regeneration of the body and its vital functions.
Sleep triggers several successive cycles of 60 to 120 minutes, each of which consists of 2 main phases: slow sleep (light sleep and deep sleep) and paradoxical sleep.
Also, you will have understood: the disturbance of this cycle can generate a form of chronic insomnia.
Thus, it has been shown that stress has close links with sleep disorders: a state of anxiety often causes difficulty falling asleep and is even the cause of nocturnal awakenings.
Result: the higher the state of stress, the worse the night, the more the level of anxiety of the individual increases... and the vicious circle sets in.
This is why it may be useful to turn to nutritional supplements, such as those from the Synergia laboratory.
How can you reduce stress and sleep better?
Of course, there are certain daily physical activities that can be used to work on stress management: for example, relaxation activities such as yoga or sophrology.
More generally, the practice of a sports activity can also help to evacuate the tension accumulated during the day.
However, it is not recommended to perform any physical activity in the evening, in order to allow the heart rate to return to a normal rhythm.
It should also be noted that diet plays a key role in our health – and therefore indirectly in the quality of our sleep.
It is therefore essential to provide our body with a certain number of nutrients (such as group B vitamins, vitamin C, carbohydrates, magnesium, etc.).
We will also avoid in passing the stimulants, alcohol as well as bad fats (contained in particular in processed foods and dishes, to be absolutely avoided!).
What is the interest of magnesium for the body?
Magnesium has been repeatedly shown to play a major role in the fight against stress and sleep disorders.
A magnesium deficiency (85% of the population) tends to increase a person's vulnerability to stress.
This stress will lead to an increase in the level of adrenaline and cortisol (stress hormones), which will lead to the elimination through the urine of the magnesium present in the body.
To fight effectively against the emergence of chronic stress, we recommend supplementation with 3rd generation organic magnesium, perfectly assimilated by the body and with good digestive tolerance.
This will avoid taking a so-called "inorganic" magnesium (such as magnesium oxide or marine magnesium).
Health professionals thus tend to recommend certain products in particular, such as D-Stress SLEEP from the Synergia laboratory, which effectively and durably treats sleep disorders, thanks to a synergy of 3rd generation magnesium, bioavailable and well tolerated, and
Eschscholtzia californica
(California poppy).
D-Stress SLEEP, without addiction and without side effects, does not contain melatonin, a molecule that is contraindicated in many patients suffering in particular from inflammatory or autoimmune diseases.
In addition, French regulations provide for a maximum dosage equivalent to 2 mg, which is insufficient to obtain a significant effect on falling asleep.
