摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing, improving or treating sleep disorders containing a turmeric extract as an active ingredient. The turmeric extract of the present invention provides the effect of reducing the waking time, increasing the duration of sleep and increasing non-REM sleep at almost the same level or improved level as redolmin or diazepam, which are drugs used as conventional sleep inducing agents.
