The 3 Worst Things to Take Before Bed (supplement with this instead)
Every doctor gives the same tip: “Get more sleep.”
Every advice column tells you the same.
So does your neighbor, and your well-rested best friend who magically goes through life without dark circles under her eyes.
By now, you know the drill. Getting enough sleep is important. But how do you actually do that? And why is it so tough to know what to do if you can’t sleep?
Here’s the trick: It’s not just about sleeping more, it’s about sleeping better. It’s about getting the quality of rest and deep sleep your body needs to repair your cells and restore your energy. It’s about waking up feeling vibrant and optimistic rather than begging your alarm for a few more precious seconds of dozing. And the trick to that kind of sleep is knowing which ingredients can help you get there.
So, let’s compare the best sleep products out there to the ones you’re better off doing without.
But first, let’s dig into WHY sleep is such a hurdle…
The Steep Decline of Sleep Quality with Age
Did you know that the quality of your sleep actually worsens with age?
It’s true—and it’s scientifically proven, too.
The older you get, the more likely you are to toss and turn at night, wake up to go to the bathroom, or get fewer than 7 hours of sleep. This is because, as you age, important sleep hormones like melatonin start to decline. And when melatonin declines, your body’s internal clock (i.e. your circadian rhythm) gets disrupted (1, 2).
This is the vicious cycle of sleep worsening with age.
Whatsmore, if you’re a woman going through perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause, you’re even more likely to develop a sleep disorder (thanks to common menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, making it harder to get comfortable at night) (3, 4).
So, what can you do if you can’t sleep, no matter how hard you try?
