Do you know how valuable sleep is?
A recent study of 172,321 adults found that men who get adequate sleep lived 4.7 years
longer than men who didn't, while women lived around 2 years longer.
Getting quality sleep is one of the most important things you can do
if you want to have a healthy, long life.
Here are 4 things to try:
1: Use Sunlight to Regulate Your Circadian Rhythm
Studies have found that exposure to natural light increases sleep duration
and improves sleep quality.
Getting out in the Sun can regulate melatonin secretion, giving you more energy
in the day and letting you fall asleep easier at night.
This is particularly effective within the first hour of waking
- aim for 10-30 minutes in the Sun every day.
2: Cut Out Screentime Before Bed
Research shows that too much exposure to screens impacts your sleep.
Scrolling on a phone or tablet before bed can be especially damaging.
This is partly because the stuff on your phone (games, social media, etc.) tends to be mentally stimulating, but also because blue light from your screen
sends signals to your brain that it's time to be awake.
Try cutting out screentime 30-60 minutes before you go to bed.
If you do need to use your phone in this window,
make sure to use Blue Light Blockers to minimise the impact.
3: Watch What You Eat
A good diet helps us relax and get better sleep,
while a poor diet can stop us from getting to sleep and reduce the quality of sleep.
Try to avoid large meals close to bedtime and cut out stimulants like
caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine, especially before bedtime.
Aim to avoid stimulants 1 to 2 hours before bed.
4: Take SureSleep®
Quality sleep is so important that we have an ingredient specifically for it.
SureSleep® combines magnesium, L-tryptophan, and I-theanine to balance neurotransmitters
and reduce cortisol, naturally increase melatonin production, and promote relaxation.
These ingredients combined ensure you are able to get to sleep,
stay asleep & wake up feeling recharged not drowsy.
In short - it’s the ultimate sleep aid!
