It’s well understood that sleep is just as critical to your health as food, water and air. Sleep deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of many health issues. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to your overall health and well-being.
Sleep challenges affect one’s ability to fall and remain asleep. Those suffering from a lack of sleep will have trouble falling asleep, wake up during the night, lack overall sleep quality and experience fatigue or an inability to concentrate during the day.
The first step in achieving quality sleep is the ability to fall asleep. That’s where GABA can be effective for those suffering from a regular lack of sleep. GABA is a neurotransmitter that works on the receptors of the brain to support your ability to fall and stay asleep.* GABA has been shown to have a calming effect on the brain and body and may help manage stress and anxiousness, which are often factors in those with sleep concerns.
L-Theanine is also recommended for those suffering from sleep challenges. L-Theanine has demonstrated an ability to promote deep muscle relaxation and enhanced sleep quality. This naturally occurring amino acid is found in green tea and is derived from glutamic acid, a major neurotransmitter.
Ashwagandha is a sleep-inducing herb that supports a healthy circadian rhythm by maintaining healthy cortisol and blood sugar levels. The active constituents of Ashwagandha have been shown to promote enhanced Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and may help improve sleep quality.
Melatonin is a powerful free-radical fighter responsible for controlling your sleep-wake cycle as it signals to the body when it’s time to wake up or go to sleep.* This hormone is found in the body but can be taken to adjust your internal clock and get you back into a routine without feeling sleep deprived.
Melatonin has been shown to support sleep onset, increased rapid Eye Movement time and improved quality of sleep. It’s specifically recommended for individuals suffering from jet lag, shift work or sleep deprivation.
