Do you have a hard time getting to sleep or feeling rested, no matter how much shut-eye you get? If so, you’re not alone; over 60 percent of adults in the United States struggle with inadequate sleep. Thankfully, there are natural ways that may help improve your quality of restful slumber.
Let’s explore different approaches to promote better nighttime sleep and create an invigorating environment for waking up feeling refreshed and recharged.
Understand Nutrients That Help You Relax
When it comes to finding ways to relax, it’s important to consider the nutrients that can help you achieve a sense of calm. One such nutrient is magnesium, which has been shown to have a calming effect on the body by regulating the release of stress hormones.
Research has found that magnesium may help with brain functions that reduce stress and anxiety. Taking a supplement, or including more magnesium-rich foods like almonds, spinach, and bananas into your diet before bedtime may help improve the quality of your sleep.
Cerebral Calm can be a great solution to help promote a sense of relaxation. Containing a clinical combination of Albion® Chelated Magnesium, Suntheanine® L-Theanine, Chamomile Extract, and GABA, Cerebral Calm may help with occasional anxiety and promote a sense of calm and relaxation.*
Herbs to Support Rest & Relaxation
Passionflower
Used for medicinal purposes for centuries, the passionflower is known for its calming and relaxing properties, making it a popular calming herb for anxiety or trouble sleeping.
Scientists believe passionflower helps to increase levels of a chemical called gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to lower the activity of some brain cells, making you feel more relaxed.
Melatonin
If you’re someone who struggles with getting enough sleep, you may have stumbled upon the supplement melatonin.
This naturally occurring hormone is produced in the pineal gland of the brain and regulates our sleep-wake cycle. It’s often taken in supplement form to help ease jet lag or insomnia … and still, for many people, melatonin remains a simple solution to a persistent sleep problem.
European Lemon Balm
European lemon balm is a remarkable herb that has gained popularity across the globe due to its remarkable aroma and numerous health benefits.
The leaves of the lemon balm can be brewed into a tea that can promote relaxation, ease anxiety, and aid in digestion. Some studies have even suggested that this herb may help improve memory and cognitive function, making it a go-to ingredient for students and professionals alike.
Supplement with Vitamins and Minerals
Relaxing can often feel like a luxury, but when it comes to your physical and mental health, it’s a must.
