Why does Melatonin promote sleep?
Melatonin improves the quality and duration of sleep by regulating the sleep-wake rhythm. It is absorbed in the small intestine and its biological action manifests itself already after about thirty minutes, persisting for a few hours. Some information on Melatonin Melatonin (N-Acetyl-5-methoxytryptophan) is a bio-substance synthesized by the epiphysis, a small gland at the base of the brain. It is called the Sleep-Promoting Hormone, the hormone that induces sleep. The considerable diffusion of scientific evidence and evidences has confirmed the efficacy of melatonin which for years has been used, as a supplement, also in food supplements.

USEFUL TIPS TO ENCOURAGE A GOOD SLEEP.
• Light evening meal.
To be consumed at least three hours before going to bed. Better to avoid: fatty, fried, heavy condiments, sausages, sweets, drinks with caffeine and an excess of alcohol.
• Avoid skipping dinner.
You may experience excessive lowering of blood sugars: this could cause irregular sleep.
• Regular physical activity.
It is ideal for promoting natural physical fatigue, which is important for promoting sleep; not to take place, however, just before going to bed.
• Engage in relaxing activities before bed.
Reading, practicing relaxing hobbies, watching movies on TV that don't require too much attention.
• Create a comfortable environment.
In the room where you sleep it is advisable to maintain an optimal temperature (it is ideal between 17 ° and 21 °). Opt for a pillow that supports your neck adequately and use a comfortable bed. Avoid too bright light and possibly noises.
• Spend as much time as possible outdoors and in sunlight to help your body regulate circadian rhythms.
• Avoid naps, especially after dinner.

What is sleep
Sleep is a particular state of physical and mental rest. In contrast to the waking state, a total or partial suspension of the state of consciousness and will occurs during sleep. This fundamental phase of rest is accompanied by important functional changes: in fact, energy metabolism decreases (with values 10-15% lower than in the state of rest when awake), muscle tone, heart rate, breathing and pressure arterial.

Why is it necessary to sleep.
"If the sleep function were not absolutely vital, then it would be the biggest mistake evolution has ever made." (Alan Rechtschaffen)
Good sleep positively affects certain physiological functions at different levels.
• Neurovegetative: intervenes on blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, regularity of the sleep-wake rhythm, hormonal secretions and muscle tone.
• Emotional: intervenes in the regulation of mood, on the control of anxiety and irritability.
• Cognitive: reorganizes memory processes by reinforcing information acquired during wakefulness.
• Thermoregulation: favors the reduction of energy expenditure also for better control of body temperature.
• Neuronal: promotes neuronal plasticity (amplifies the transmission of the nerve signal).

The functions of sleep.
Sleep performs multiple functions simultaneously at both physiological and cognitive levels. When you sleep there is intense activity of the nervous system, which is essential for the well-being and functionality of the nerve cells. In an important scientific symposium some opinions and theories on probable and likely functions of sleep were provided:
• Somatic theory. Highlights the beneficial effects of restful sleep on the immune system and the endocrine system.
• Neurometabolic hypothesis. Staying awake represents a metabolic "cost" for the nervous system and the vital functions of the organism, that is, a large expenditure of energy, which must somehow be "paid for" with rest and sleep. Sleep therefore allows the brain functions to conserve energy.
• Cognitive theory. Sleep is essential for: learning, memory processes and nervous system functions.

Duration of sleep.
In humans, the duration of sleep also depends on age: infants generally sleep 18-20 hours a day, children from 11 to 13 hours, adults from 7 to 9 hours and the elderly from 5 to 7 hours. . Man spends about twenty-five years of his life sleeping: this data shows that sleep is a basic need like hunger and thirst.

Architecture of sleep.
The physiology of sleep has a complex organization, in fact, it is also called the "Architecture of Sleep" and is characterized by a macrostructure and a microstructure.
Macrostructure
The macrostructure consists of four stages: a REM sleep stage (Rapid Eyes Movement, rapid eye movements) and three NREM sleep stages (Non-Rapid Eyes Movement, no eye movements are present). A sleep cycle lasts about 90-120 minutes and is organized by an orderly alternation of NREM sleep and REM sleep. Generally, 4-5 complete sleep cycles take place in an adult person over an average period of 8 hours. Microstructure
During the NREM stages, micro-awakenings occur that last for a few seconds. The regularity and frequency with which these occur represent the microstructure of sleep.

INSOMNIA
There are generally three types of insomnia:
• initial: difficulty in falling asleep;
• intermediate: characterized by frequent awakenings and difficulty falling asleep again;
• terminal: tendency to wake up very early in the morning.
Insomnia must never be neglected because if prolonged over time it can generate other disorders:
• of a psychological and tensive nature: with possible variations in mood and anxious forms.
• cardiovascular in nature: with the possibility that blood pressure increases.
• of an endocrine-metabolic nature: with the possibility of an increase in blood sugar (blood sugars) or of developing particular forms of overweight.

What factors contribute to determining insomnia phenomena?
Sex. Women are most affected, particularly in the 45-54 age group. Menopause can be considered a contributing cause.
Age. Sleep disturbances increase with age. About 60% of people over 60 have difficulty sleeping.
Physical ailments of various kinds. They can cause insomnia: respiratory system disorders (cough, cold, bronchial asthma, dyspnoea), acute and chronic pain, gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux, gastrointestinal, dermatological (itch) and renal and / or urinary disorders.
Working activity. Night shifts, tasks with a high degree of responsibility, tensions and conflicts related to the professional sphere.
Chronic stress and psychological factors. Psycho-physical tensions, emotional distress, personal worries, unpleasant events, emotional instability.
Climatic factors. Season changes, temperatures that are too high or too low, temperature changes.
Travel for work or vacation. Frequent international flights and / or to countries with different time zones than usual.
