Sleep may be more difficult for many these days –and we don’t have to ask why! The collective population of America has a lot on their minds with a global pandemic, social uprising, and record unemployment. But, this doesn’t subtract from the fact that sleep is important, and as an adult, you need at least seven to eight hours of it per night to remain physically and mentally healthy.
So, how can you put your mind at ease and get some rest with so much uncertainty, adversity, and discomfort abound? We believe one of these 5 natural remedies to hold the answer to a restful night of sleep! Check them out below:
Magnesium – Magnesium is considered to be one of the best and simplest natural sleep aids. It binds to neurotransmitter receptors to calm your mood, lower your stress levels, encourage restful sleep— and perhaps, most importantly, maintain your sleep schedule.
Melatonin – Melatonin is sold over-the-counter in pill form, but it consists of the same chemicals that the human body makes naturally. It helps to regulate your internal clock and makes sure that you’re ready to tackle your day!
5-HTP – 5-HTP is similar to tryptophan, which you can find in foods, like nuts, tofu, beans, turkey, and so forth. Once eaten, your body turns tryptophan into serotonin. 5-HTP is the will allow this all to unfold naturally without any food!
Jujube – Jujube is commonly used as a natural remedy against gastrointestinal problems, but it’s also great for cutting back on stress. The jujube berry contains two phytochemicals— saponins and flavonoids— to help fight insomnia.
Kava – Like jujubes, kava is also a plant used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and stress. The kava plant contains compounds called kavalactones, which bond to different neurotransmitters, including GABA receptors, to decrease brain activity and cause you to feel sleepy.
