Stress & Sleep Support

Over 70% of American adults report that they don't get enough sleep. Problems with sleeping are prevalent among all age groups.

Wind Down Before Bed

Stress and sleep tend to go hand in hand. It's hard to know if you aren't getting a good night's sleep because you're stressed or if you're stressing that you aren't sleeping.

One of the best strategies to sleep better is to wind down before you sleep. Taking some time out for yourself before bed is the best way to get to sleep! Have a warm bath or shower; when you move from the warm bath to your cooler bedroom, it will help lower your body temperature for sleeping.

Drink herbal tea that promotes sleep, such as chamomile. Reading a book is also another great way to wind down, switch off, and drift to sleep.

Turn Your Screens Off

One of the worst culprits for poor sleep hygiene is screens. The blue light can suppress your melatonin production, which is the hormone necessary for falling asleep.

If you want a good night's rest, turn your screens off at least an hour before your head hits the pillow. Phone, laptop, and TV, it all needs to go off! 

Get Into Good Habits

Sleep patterns are hard to get into, but once you develop good habits, you will get much better sleep! 

Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day (yes, even on weekends!). This will give your body the chance to get into a rhythm. Before you know it, your sleep cycle will mean you can wake up without an alarm.

Take Regular Exercise

Regular exercise will tire you out and help you fall asleep. Try exercising earlier in the day, though, as exercising right before sleep can boost your adrenaline.

Try a Stress & Sleep Support Supplement

There are many natural supplements you can take to help you get into a good sleep rhythm and achieve a better night's sleep.

Many sleep supplements contain melatonin which can help you regulate your sleeping and waking cycle.

Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol

Don't worry; you don't have to give them up altogether! However, try to avoid caffeine and alcohol in the afternoon and evening. They mess with your body's ability to get into a state of deep sleep.

Try Meditation

Sleep and stress are intrinsically linked. If you want to destress so you can sleep better, try some meditation or breathing exercises. These will help calm your mind and get you into a good place for sleeping.
