I'm 12 years old and it's hard for me to fall asleep, can I apply ZzzQuil Nature?

ZzzQuil is a dietary supplement intended for adults, therefore its use in younger people is not recommended. If the problems with falling asleep were one-off, the use of additional preparations is not necessary, in my opinion.

The causes of accidental insomnia (lasting a few days) or short-term insomnia (lasting up to 4 weeks) are, for example, stressful life events, lifestyle changes, infections, pain. Cognitive behavioral therapy, i.e. changing daily habits and following the principles of sleep hygiene, is important in the treatment of insomnia. These include, m.in:

1) Sticking to regular times of getting up and going to bed and taking care of the right amount of sleep (about 7-8 hours).

2) Avoid exposure to strong light 3 hours before bedtime and at least 1-2 hours before bedtime to blue light emitted by electronic devices, e.g. phone or TV.

3) Do not fall asleep on a full stomach, it is recommended to eat the last meal at least 2 hours before bedtime, it should be light.

4) You should take care of the right conditions in the bedroom, it should be quiet, dark and cool (the appropriate temperature range is 16-22°C).

5) Do not fall asleep by force. If you have trouble falling asleep, get up and do a relaxing and unengaging activity of your choice, while not exposing yourself to intense light. It may be a good idea, for example, to do stretching exercises or listen to relaxing music until you feel sleepy.

6) It is worth taking care of regular physical activity, which improves the quality of sleep.

If problems with falling asleep occur frequently and following the above rules does not bring the expected results, you should consult a doctor, who may recommend pharmacological treatment to avoid chronic insomnia. If necessary, the Gdziepolek.pl portal allows you to use teleconsultations:
