Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can negatively impact both physical and mental health. People often seek various methods to improve their sleep, including lifestyle adjustments, the use of sleep aids, and medications. Below, I will provide three methods to improve insomnia:
Q1. Could you provide three methods to improve insomnia?
- Adjusting lifestyle habits, for example:
- Ensure a comfortable sleep environment: Maintain a quiet and cool sleep environment, and use a comfortable mattress and pillow.
- Establish a regular sleep schedule: Try to go to bed at the same time every day and maintain a regular wake-up time.
- Avoid stimulants and activities: Avoid caffeine and stimulating drinks before bed, reduce the use of electronic devices, and avoid sleeping immediately after exercise.
- Develop relaxing bedtime rituals: such as deep breathing exercises, listening to soft music, or taking a hot bath, which can help relax the mind and body and prepare for sleep.
- Using sleep aids such as sleep masks can block out external light and create a better sleep environment for people who are sensitive to light.
- Applications of NMN: NMN may help improve sleep quality, mainly for the following reasons:
- Regulating the biological clock: NMN is believed to affect NAD+ levels in cells, thereby influencing the regulation of the biological clock. The biological clock is crucial for controlling the sleep-wake cycle. NMN supplementation may help regulate the function of the biological clock, thus improving sleep quality.
- Provides energy support: NMN is a precursor to NAD+, which plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism. Supplementing with NMN can increase NAD+ levels in cells and improve sleep quality.
- Antioxidant effects: NMN has antioxidant properties, which can reduce the production of free radicals and oxidative damage to cells. Oxidative damage can negatively impact sleep quality. By supplementing with NMN, antioxidant protection can be provided, reducing oxidative damage and thus improving sleep quality.
