Hops (Humulus lupulus) is primarily known for its role in brewing beer, where the female flowers provide flavor and preserve the beer. However, hops has also been used for centuries as a powerful sleep aid. This was first discovered when workers cultivating hops were noticed to fall asleep on the job, despite the work being no more physically demanding than other agricultural tasks.
Recent studies have confirmed hops’ role in improving sleep. When ingested, hops have been shown to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. Additionally, hops can lower core body temperature, creating a physiological environment conducive to sleep.
While hops alone may offer mild improvements to sleep, it works even more effectively when combined with valerian root. Together, they provide a potent remedy for insomnia.
Note: Hops should be avoided if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have depression, or are scheduled for surgery, as it may interact with anesthetics.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is one of the most well-researched herbal sleep aids. It has a strong sedative effect and helps stimulate the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and helps you fall asleep faster.
Studies show that valerian root reduces anxiety, shortens sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep), and improves sleep quality. It’s also effective at reducing night-time disturbances, enhancing restfulness, and increasing sleep duration.
Many people seek pharmaceutical sleep aids, but plant-based remedies like hops and valerian offer a natural alternative. Unlike synthetic medications, these herbs work with your body’s natural processes to improve sleep quality without the side effects often associated with prescription sleep drugs.
