Do you struggle with falling asleep, wake up often during the night, or feel tired even after a full night’s rest? Insomnia is an increasingly common issue that affects quality of life, mental health and immunity. In addition to conventional treatments, it’s worth reaching for natural support — adaptogens that help calm the nervous system and restore a healthy circadian rhythm.
Insomnia – a 21st-century problem
Sleep disorders affect millions of people worldwide. Stress, excessive screen time, lack of physical activity, and hormonal imbalances are just a few of the factors that can disrupt our natural sleep-wake cycle.
Symptoms of insomnia vary — from trouble falling asleep, to frequent nighttime awakenings, to sleep that doesn’t feel restorative. Long-term sleep deprivation affects not only well-being but also increases the risk of chronic illnesses, weakens the immune system, and disturbs emotional balance.
Why is sleep so important?
Sleep is a time of intense regeneration. During this time, key processes take place:
- cellular and tissue repair,
- hormonal regulation,
- immune system strengthening,
- memory consolidation and brain detoxification.
Lack of sleep disrupts all of these processes, leading to chronic fatigue, irritability, concentration issues, and low mood.

Adaptogens – natural support for restful sleep
Functional mushrooms and adaptogenic herbs are a special group of plants and fungi used for centuries in traditional systems of medicine — Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and folk healing. Their main benefit is supporting the body’s ability to adapt to stress — both physical and mental — and restoring internal balance, or homeostasis.
Unlike conventional sleep aids that work temporarily and often “shut down” the nervous system, adaptogens work with the body, not against it. They help regulate the HPA axis (hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal), which controls the production of stress hormones like cortisol — a common culprit in sleep disturbances.
They don’t cause drowsiness during the day or grogginess upon waking. Instead, they:
- calm the overactive nervous system, helping to quiet racing thoughts and tension before bedtime
- support natural melatonin production, regulating circadian rhythm
- reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, often present in insomnia
- improve sleep quality by extending deep and REM sleep — crucial for restoration
Thanks to these properties, adaptogens are a natural and safe alternative for people struggling with insomnia who seek lasting solutions instead of temporary sedation. When combined with a healthy bedtime routine and good sleep hygiene, they can become the foundation of more restorative rest.
Ollywell’s adaptogen set for sleep support
Designed for people struggling with insomnia and poor sleep quality, Ollywell has created a natural set of adaptogens that support deep and restorative sleep. Here’s what’s inside:
Reishi – calm and natural sleep onset
Known as the “mushroom of immortality,” Reishi is valued for its calming effects. It helps reduce nervous tension, relieves stress, and supports natural sleep onset. Unlike sleeping pills, it is non-addictive and doesn’t cause morning grogginess. Reishi also boosts the body’s regeneration and immunity, making it ideal for those under chronic stress.
Ashwagandha – soothing for the nervous system
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogen known for its calming properties and cortisol-lowering effects — the stress hormone that often disrupts sleep. It helps restore emotional balance, reduces anxiety, and supports calm, deep sleep. It’s an excellent choice for those who can’t “switch off” at night.
Holy Basil – support for circadian rhythm and recovery
Also known as Tulsi, Holy Basil is prized in Ayurveda for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hormone-balancing properties. In the context of sleep, it helps calm the body in the evening, supports the circadian rhythm, and improves REM sleep — the phase in which the brain regenerates most intensively.
