Sleep is defined as a state of rest that is opposite to being awake. Physiological sleep is characterised by REM and NON-REM stages. Deep sleep is experienced during the REM stages, when you enter the oneiric stage. Sleep problems are very common; if persistent, they can negatively affect daily activities, altering psycho-physical wellbeing. Stress and anxiety are common factors that may accompany these problems also affecting the quality of sleep.

Melatonin is a crucial hormone during physiological sleep: it reduces the time required to drift off* and is useful also to reduce jet lag symptoms in the case of long trips**.
It is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland and its main effects include the stabilisation of REM (Rapid Eyes Movement) stages.
*The beneficial effect is obtained by taking 1 mg of melatonin shortly before bedtime.
**The beneficial effect is obtained by taking, shortly before bedtime, at least 0.5 mg of melatonin on the first day of the trip and for the first few days after arrival.
Griffonia is a plant whose seeds contain a high concentration of a special amino acid, Tryptophan, which is the fundamental substratum for the production of various compounds in the body.
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid, i.e. it needs to be integrated in the diet since our body cannot produce it endogenously. It is the sole precursor of serotonin and melatonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter with several effects, including that of elevating mood.
Griffonia maintains a normal mood by favouring mental wellbeing and, together with Valerian and Hops, it favours the process of falling asleep and promotes sleep.
Valerian is a flowering plant that belongs to the Valerianaceae family; the molecules that can be obtained from this plant include the esters of valerenic acids, some flavonoids and diterpenic compounds known as iridinoids.
Valerian and Hops promote sleep and relaxation.
