Abstract
Since the bioactive components that contain the nutrients of the Mediterranean diet, and specifically in beer (such as hops Humulus lupulus, the polyphenol: xanthumol and terpene: myrcenol) all involved in the modulation of GABAA receptors inhibiting CNS and promoting night sleep and inhibiting anxiety. Therefore, we propose to evaluate the benefits that moderate consumption of this fermented beverage without alcohol on sleep quality and anxiety in people under high levels of stress. To do this, we recruited population with high levels of stress as sanitary workers with rotating shifts belonging to SES and students of the University of Extremadura under the stress of official exams. And we analyzed the Sleep/Wake Rhythm and Anxiety and Neuroendocrine Metabolites involved in sleep and anxiety.
