Comme vous le savez sans doute, la m\u00e9latonine est une aide au sommeil populaire, mais qu’est-ce que c’est et comment aide-t-elle \u00e0 dormir? La m\u00e9latonine est une hormone que l’organisme produit naturellement pour aider \u00e0 r\u00e9guler les cycles sommeil-veille. Son influence ne se limite toutefois pas \u00e0 l’heure du coucher. Elle agit sur l’\u00e9nergie, l’humeur et le rythme circadien global.<\/p>\n

Qu’est-ce que la m\u00e9latonine?<\/h2>\n

La m\u00e9latonine est une hormone se formant naturellement. Chez l’humain, elle est produite dans plusieurs tissus, y compris le cerveau (glande pin\u00e9ale), la r\u00e9tine et le tube gastro-intestinal. Dans le cerveau, la synth\u00e8se de la m\u00e9latonine est stimul\u00e9e par la noirceur. Une fois synth\u00e9tis\u00e9e, elle entre dans le d\u00e9bit sanguin o\u00f9 elle agit comme hormone endocrinienne qui intervient dans la r\u00e9gulation du sommeil et certaines autres fonctions physiologiques cycliques. On croit que la m\u00e9latonine influerait sur des rythmes biologiques quotidiens, dont l’activit\u00e9 et le sommeil, la temp\u00e9rature corporelle interne, la fonction immunitaire, les d\u00e9fenses antioxydantes, la tension art\u00e9rielle, l’alimentation et la r\u00e9gulation du glucose.<\/p>\n

Des moyens naturels de favoriser la production de m\u00e9latonine<\/h2>\n

Les choix de style de vie sont importants pour am\u00e9liorer naturellement la production de m\u00e9latonine. Un r\u00e9gime alimentaire riche en tryptophane, magn\u00e9sium et vitamines B renforce la capacit\u00e9 de l’organisme de synth\u00e9tiser la m\u00e9latonine. Par exemple, dans le cadre d’une \u00e9tude, des rats ont \u00e9t\u00e9 nourris avec des noix, connues pour leur teneur en m\u00e9latonine.\u00a0 Les r\u00e9sultats ont indiqu\u00e9 un taux sanguin de m\u00e9latonine \u00e9lev\u00e9 chez ces cobayes, ce qui laisse entendre que les noix peuvent en \u00eatre une bonne source alimentaire. Cerises acidul\u00e9es, produits laitiers, amandes, pistaches, et des fruits comme le kiwi, sont d’autres aliments qui stimulent la m\u00e9latonine. Leur ajout au repas du soir ou aux collations pourrait favoriser un sommeil reposant.<\/p>\n

La m\u00e9latonine en suppl\u00e9ment<\/h2>\n

\u00c0 retenir : un suppl\u00e9ment de m\u00e9latonine n’est pas un somnif\u00e8re. La prise par voie orale d’un suppl\u00e9ment de m\u00e9latonine soutient le rythme circadien naturel de l’organisme humain et favorise un bon sommeil. Prise une heure avant d’aller au lit, la m\u00e9latonine favorise la hausse naturel du taux de m\u00e9latonine qui survient g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement avant de s’endormir.<\/p>\n

La fluctuation du taux de m\u00e9latonine avec l’\u00e2ge<\/h2>\n

La production de m\u00e9latonine tend \u00e0 baisser avec l’\u00e2ge, ce qui peut entra\u00eener une perturbation du rythme circadien,<\/a> l’horloge interne de l’organisme qui r\u00e9gule le sommeil, l’humeur et le m\u00e9tabolisme. Le sommeil est alors souvent entrecoup\u00e9 par des r\u00e9veils fr\u00e9quents et l’efficacit\u00e9 du sommeil est ainsi r\u00e9duite.<\/p>\n

Une recherche men\u00e9e \u00e0 la Harvard Medical School a montr\u00e9 que l’efficacit\u00e9 du sommeil des adultes plus \u00e2g\u00e9s qui prenaient un suppl\u00e9ment de m\u00e9latonine \u00e9tait meilleure que celle des sujets ayant pris un placebo. Ces r\u00e9sultats semblent indiquer que la m\u00e9latonine pourrait \u00eatre une aide au sommeil prometteuse pour la population vieillissante, bien que d’autres \u00e9tudes sont n\u00e9cessaires pour mieux d\u00e9terminer le dosage et l’utilisation \u00e0 long terme.<\/p>\n

Un sommeil r\u00e9parateur gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la m\u00e9latonine<\/h2>\n

La m\u00e9latonine n’est pas la solution miracle pour dormir, m\u00eame si son r\u00f4le est essentiel pour aider l’organisme \u00e0 r\u00e9guler naturellement le sommeil. Si la production de m\u00e9latonine par l’organisme est efficace, vous \u00eates plus susceptible de profiter d’un sommeil reposant et reconstituant. Un sommeil de qualit\u00e9 est fondamental \u00e0 l’\u00e9tat de sant\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, car il soutient tout, de la fonction immunitaire \u00e0 l’humeur, en passant par le rendement cognitif et le taux d’\u00e9nergie.<\/p>\n

Choix de style de vie, alimentation ou prise d’un suppl\u00e9ment, tout ce que vous faites pour favoriser une bonne production de m\u00e9latonine pourra vous aider \u00e0 mieux dormir et vous sentir mieux.<\/p>\n
