Insomnia or light sleep? The infusions that can help you rest
Sleeping poorly doesn’t always mean not sleeping at all. Many people fall asleep easily but wake up several times during the night or feel like they haven’t truly rested.
Although stress plays a role, sleep also depends on other factors such as nervous system activation, nighttime habits, and even digestion.
That’s why creating small bedtime rituals can make a real difference.
Can infusions help improve sleep?
Some plants traditionally used in herbal infusions contain compounds associated with relaxation and calm.
Chamomile, for example, contains apigenin, an antioxidant studied for its potential relaxing properties. Other plants such as lemon balm or mint may help promote a sense of wellbeing and digestive comfort, which is important since heavy digestion can also affect sleep quality.
In addition, caffeine-free drinks like rooibos allow you to enjoy a warm, comforting moment at night without stimulating the nervous system, unlike coffee or some teas.
Beyond the ingredients, the simple ritual of preparing an infusion helps the body reduce stimulation and gradually shift into rest mode.
