How to overcome insomnia?

Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in France. It is most frequently defined as repeated nights with difficulty falling asleep or waking up too early / during the night. There are two types of insomnia:

• Acute insomnia, often due to an event or something bothering you in life, such as financial problems, stress, heavy meals, etc. It lasts one or several nights in a row, but eventually stops once the trigger is resolved.
• Chronic insomnia; it is often more difficult to find a plausible or obvious reason for this type of insomnia. It appears overnight and lasts for at least 3 nights a week for at least 3 months.

The warning signs of the onset of insomnia are often the same:

• You have difficulty falling asleep
• Your sleep is interrupted during the night, and you can't fall back asleep
• You notice memory and concentration problems that didn't occur before
• You are in a bad mood due to lack of sleep
• You suffer from frequent migraines
• You wake up tired
• You feel anxious when it's time to go to bed

In the long term, insomnia can have a negative impact on daily life. Indeed, lack of sleep can affect, and above all, directly degrade your health as it promotes the development of associated somatic and psychiatric illnesses such as hypertension, depression, chronic pain, etc. Moreover, you are more susceptible to accidents due to this sleep disorder because you are more irritable and experience periods of drowsiness, etc.

The solution to insomnia is certainly not sleeping pills; on the contrary, natural remedies have proven to be much more effective.

• CBD Infusion

No worries, unlike the other part of the plant, the CBD molecule is completely legal in France and is becoming increasingly widespread. It is scientifically proven that CBD is effective for treating insomnia as well as calming anxiety and chronic pain. CBD can be consumed in various ways, as oil, by inhalation, but the most effective technique for insomnia is drinking an herbal tea. Simply boil the CBD leaves, then pour the entire drink into your thermos before consuming it at room temperature just before going to bed. You can get CBD in pharmacies or specialized shops. If you are hesitant about using CBD, you can opt for chamomile, linden, lavender, or passionflower infusions.

• Create the right conditions

Once you've had your infusion, you need to create the right conditions to fall asleep. To do this, you should turn off screens (television, phone, computers, etc.) relatively early to allow your brain to settle down. Then, opt for comfortable and relaxed pajamas. Finally, use a pillow as soft as a cloud for extra comfort.

• Sleep Aids

You can also opt for our smart sleep aid device, which will help calm your anxiety and insomnia by sending non-harmful and painless microcurrent waves through your hand to reach your cerebral cortex. It is effective because it uses specific acupuncture points to naturally secrete endorphins.

• Essential Oils

Sometimes, you can feel anxious just at the thought of being in the dark, so to avoid this, you can use a night light diffuser that will soothe your fears in the dark while creating a relaxing and warm atmosphere. Chamomile and lavender essential oils will help calm your nervous system, as well as mental agitation, to finally help you fall asleep.

• Consult a Professional

Finally, if despite all your efforts you still can't fall asleep, we advise you to consult a behavioral psychotherapist or a psychologist to help you overcome it before your acute insomnia turns into chronic insomnia.
