Healthy sleep means sufficient, quality rest that ensures a person's physical and mental well-being.
Healthy sleep is connected to a person's internal clock - the circadian rhythm, which guides all processes and creates an appropriate environment in the body when sleep is needed.
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain. It is involved in the regulation of sleep-wake and circadian rhythms. Melatonin production peaks at night and is one of the important factors in falling asleep.
Melatonin deficiency, along with insomnia, also contributes to the development of other pathological processes, such as:
– Arterial hypertension
– Insulin resistance
– Obesity
– Metabolic syndrome
– Increased risk of breast and prostate cancer
– Increased risk of type 2 diabetes
