After 90 minutes of the last gavage at the weekend, sodium pentobarbital (50mg / kg) was injected into the peritoneal cavity of each experimental group of mice. During injection, the surrounding environment was in a light state, with the disappearance of the righting reflex as the sleeping time point of mice, and the recovery of the righting reflex as the waking time point of mice. The number of activities of mice in the average of every 10 minutes during sleep was recorded, and the number of activities was included in the spontaneous swing of the four limbs of mice, the spontaneous swing of the tail of mice, the spontaneous swing of the head of mice, the change of the sleeping posture of mice, the body twitching during sleep, etc. The detection records are shown in Table 5 below. When the table cannot be divided, a decimal is taken.

[0145] (Test 2)

[0146] The sleep depth detection experiment of mice was carried out at the end of the sixth week of gavage. 90 minutes after the last gavage at the end of the sixth week, sodium pentobarbital (50 mg / kg) was injected into the peritoneal cavity of each experimental group of mice. The surrounding environment was in a bright state during injection, and the disappearance of the righting reflex was used as the sleeping time point of the mice. After the mice fell asleep, 65dB white noise was applied to the environment, and the recovery of the righting reflex was used as the waking time point of the mice. The average time between each mouse falling asleep and being awakened in each experimental group was recorded. The detection records are shown in Table 6 below.

[0149] 4. Experimental Conclusion

[0150] The appearance of the mice during feeding showed that the nutritional composition of the present invention was non-toxic under the experimental conditions and had no adverse effects on the experimental mice. The weight of the mice after six weeks of continuous gavage showed that the technical solution of the present application could effectively aid digestion, regulate the vitality and immunity of the organism, enhance the physical condition of the organism, and promote the healthy and rapid growth of the organism.

[0151] It can be seen from the sleep time detection experiment of mice that experimental group 9 is a blank control group, indicating that under the environmental conditions of the feeding box, especially the alternating light and dark lighting settings, the sleep quality of mice will be reduced and the normal growth and development of mice will be affected. By comparing the data of experimental groups 1-4 and experimental groups 5-8, the technical schemes of embodiments 1-4 provided by the present invention can effectively improve the sleep ability of mice and increase the sleep time of mice, and the sleep time of mice in experimental groups 1-4 is getting longer and longer from the third week to the fifth week, indicating that the nutritional composition of this scheme also has the effect of improving sleep.

[0152] From the sleep depth detection experiment of mice (experiment 1), it can be seen that through the data comparison of experimental groups 1-4, experimental groups 5-8 and experimental group 9, in experimental groups 1-4, the average number of activities of mice after falling asleep is less, which is significantly lower than the blank control group of experimental group 9; in experimental groups 5-8, the average number of activities of mice after falling asleep is still more. This shows that the nutritional composition of this scheme can improve sleep quality and deepen sleep depth.

[0153] From the sleep depth detection experiment of mice (experiment 2), it can be seen that through the data comparison of experimental groups 1-4, experimental groups 5-8 and experimental group 9, in experimental groups 1-4, the average time of mice being awakened by noise after falling asleep was longer, which was significantly improved compared with the blank control group of experimental group 9; in experimental groups 5-8, the average time of mice being awakened by noise after falling asleep was still shorter. It can also further illustrate that the nutritional composition in this scheme can effectively improve sleep quality and has a calming effect.

[0154] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments and comparative examples are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
