Sleep Aids

A good night's sleep is fundamental to mental and physical well-being. Occasional sleeplessness is common, but persistent insomnia can affect your mood, concentration, and long-term health. Clinical sleep aids can help break the cycle of poor sleep and restore your natural rhythm.

Types of Sleep Support

• Melatonin (Circadin): A hormone that signals to the body it is time to sleep. It is particularly effective for jet lag or for those over 55 who produce less natural melatonin.
• Traditional Sleep Aids: Short-term prescriptions that help you fall asleep more quickly (use should be limited to avoid dependency).
• Antihistamines: Some older-style antihistamines have sedative properties that can help with temporary sleep issues.

Guidelines for Better Sleep

• Hygiene: Maintain a strict schedule of sleeping and waking at the same time every day.
• Environment: Ensure your bedroom is cool, dark, and quiet.
• Wind Down: Avoid screens (blue light) and stimulating activities for at least an hour before bed.
• Limit Stimulants: Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake, especially in the afternoon and evening.
