As a lifelong light sleeper and a mother since the age of eighteen, achieving restful sleep has been a recurring challenge for me. Periods of waking up in the middle of the night, unable to return to sleep, have left me in a fatigued state the following day. Sleep disturbances, particularly among women post-forty due to hormonal changes, are common. Fortunately, I’ve discovered a combination of supplements that aids in promoting better sleep, steering clear of the drawbacks associated with traditional sleeping tablets.
Here’s my recommendations to promote better sleep!
- Dirtea Cocoa – Mushroom Combination Adaptogen
- Calming properties to induce a sense of relaxation.
- Calms – L- Theanine
- Known for its ability to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.
- Magnesium Glycinate – Sleep
- Specifically designed to support sleep by promoting muscle relaxation and calming the nervous system.
- Bare Biology Vitamine D & K2 spray
- Provides essential vitamins that contribute to overall well-being, potentially influencing sleep indirectly.
- High Potency Magnesium (Separate from Sleep Magnesium):
- Taken for regular natural bowel movements, contributing to overall digestive health when taken before bedtime.
- Apigenin:
- Known for its relaxing properties, aiding in sleep induction.
- NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): Boosts relaxation and helps regulate metabolism and circadian rhythm, particularly important as NAD levels decline with age.
Since incorporating this supplement regimen into my routine, I’ve noticed improved sleep quality. While early wake-ups for the school run remain a constant, I’ve found that on nights when I’m not fully asleep, I can maintain a relaxed state instead of succumbing to the temptation of doom scrolling on my phone. This holistic approach, combining supplements with lifestyle adjustments, has proven beneficial for achieving a more restful night’s sleep.
