Improving sleep with the help of red fly agaric: properties and recommendations

In the modern realities of the world, stress and anxiety significantly affect the quality of sleep, which is important for our health. Sleep disorders can lead to serious health problems. Therefore, research into methods of improving sleep is very relevant today.

Stress and anxiety significantly affect the quality of sleep because they activate the body's "fight or flight" system, which leads to increased levels of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. This can cause a number of physiological and psychological reactions that interfere with falling asleep and maintaining a deep sleep.

Difficulty falling asleep (insomnia): High levels of stress and anxiety can make it difficult to fall asleep because your mind may be full of thoughts or worries that keep you on high alert.

Sleep disturbances: Stress and anxiety can cause frequent awakenings during the night or too early awakenings, making sleep interrupted and less restorative.

Reduced sleep quality: Even if you can fall asleep, high levels of anxiety can reduce the depth and quality of your sleep, limiting the amount of time you spend in the deep, most restorative phases of sleep.

Nightmares or unpleasant dreams: Stress and anxiety can also cause unpleasant dreams or nightmares, which can wake you up and make it difficult to fall back asleep.

In 1996, scientists from Germany studied the effect of muscimol (substance from fly agaric) on sleep in general and its different phases. Experiments were conducted on mice.

The study showed that muscimol has a positive effect on both main phases of sleep: non-REM (NREM) sleep and REM sleep.

"Non REM" (NREM) sleep is translated as "sleep without rapid eye movements", during this phase the body restores physical strength and performs many important functions of regeneration.

The term "REM" sleep means "rapid eye movement sleep". This is a phase of sleep during which there are rapid eye movements, increased brain activity, dreaming and temporary relaxation of body muscles. REM sleep plays a key role in memory processes,

Think of muscimol as a key that fits special locks in the brain called GABA receptors. When muscimol "opens" these locks, they allow more "resting" particles (chloride ions) to enter the nerve cells.It's like pressing the "volume down" button for the brain: the nerve cells become less active and less excited. When the brain is quieter, you feel less anxious and fall asleep more easily. It's a bit like turning on "sleep mode" on your phone,

Muscimol has a positive effect on both phases of sleep, improving inhibition of nervous activity, and improves sleep, increasing the duration and quality of its phases, which is important for physical and mental recovery.

Muscimol is the active substance of red amanita, so to disturb your sleep, we recommend considering a course of microdosing of red amanita.
