Introduction
In general, drinking water infused with roses and wolfberries may have a certain auxiliary effect in calming the mind and promoting sleep, but the effect is limited and proper consumption methods should be noted. In daily life, to improve sleep quality, one can maintain a regular作息 (routine), reduce the use of electronic devices before bedtime, and create a quiet sleeping environment. At the same time, combining moderate exercise with a light diet can help regulate the body from multiple aspects and improve sleep quality.

Generally, drinking water infused with rose petals and goji berries may have a mild calming effect and help with sleep, but the effect is limited and proper consumption methods should be noted. The specific analysis is as follows:

Roses are warm in nature and have the effect of regulating qi and relieving depression, which can ease emotional irritability and anxiety, and slightly improve insomnia caused by mood swings. Goji berries are neutral in nature and contain various nutrients; they can nourish the liver and kidneys and help regulate overall body condition. When used together to make infused water, they can help relax the body and mind during consumption and provide some auxiliary benefits for mild insomnia or poor sleep quality. However, if insomnia is severe, simply drinking this infusion may not be effective, and excessive consumption may interfere with sleep due to increased urine production. Therefore, the quantity and timing of consumption should be controlled.

In daily life, to improve sleep, one can maintain a regular sleep schedule, reduce the use of electronic devices before bedtime, and create a quiet sleeping environment. At the same time, combining moderate exercise with a light diet can help regulate the body from multiple aspects and improve sleep quality.
