Food: an unsung hero of your sleep
A heavy evening meal, a coffee after 4 p.m., or a diuretic drink before bed… These seemingly harmless habits can actually affect your rest. Certain stimulating or complex nutrients keep your body awake when it should be winding down.
Our tip: Opt for a light dinner, with vegetables and little refined sugar. For your evening infusion, choose relaxing herbs like linden or lemon balm .
Anxiety, that invisible nighttime companion
Even if you fall asleep quickly, underlying stress can sabotage the quality of your rest. Mental rumination, physical tension, restless dreams… Your brain remains alert, and your body, in an intermediate state . As if you were sleeping with one eye open.
Zen routine: Create a decompression zone before bed: hot shower, entertaining book, breathing exercises… Make your evening a smooth transition to sleep.
