[0002] Insomnia is a chronic disease in which people have difficulty falling asleep and insufficient sleep in their daily lives. With the accelerating pace of life and the increase in work pressure, the proportion of people suffering from insomnia is increasing year by year. According to a survey by the World Health Organization (WHO), about one-third of people worldwide have insomnia symptoms or sleep dysfunction. Studies have found that insomnia can cause daily phenomena such as memory loss and lack of concentration, which can cause irreversible damage to the brain, and it is a complication of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases.

[0003] Modern medical research believes that the mechanism of improving sleep is mainly related to regulating the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) system, glutamate (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) balance. At present, the drugs for the treatment of insomnia mainly include tranquilizers (benzodiazepines), antidepressants, etc. Due to the difficulty in treating insomnia and the long medication cycle, side effects such as drug dependence and rebound may occur. Insomnia is a chronic disease induced by multiple factors, and single-target research will have certain limitations. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has the characteristics of multiple components and multiple targets, and can effectively improve the effect through multiple pathways, playing a unique advantage in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases.

[0004] Depression is a common mental illness, and insomnia is a common comorbid symptom of depression. When patients with depression are depressed, the content of central neurotransmitters or receptor function decreases, affecting their mood and sleep, manifesting as early awakening, reduced total sleep time, and increased number of awakenings at night.

[0005] Traditional Chinese medicine calls insomnia "insomnia", and believes that insomnia is a disease caused by the disharmony of internal organs and the imbalance of qi and blood, which leads to the lack of nourishment of the mind and restlessness. Traditional Chinese medicine has higher safety. Therefore, the development of an efficient and safe product to improve sleep has important social significance. Summary of the invention
