Sleep Support Supplements

Many of us are experiencing more stress, and lack of sleep can often be a result and a cause of more stress! Lack of sleep leads to daytime fatigue, lack of focus and attention to detail at work, irritability and depressed mood. In addition to day to day stress playing a role in lack of sleep, often when hormones fluctuate, such as during pre-menopause and menopause, difficulty sleeping is often a result. If you find yourself waking up at 3am on a regular basis, hormones are often the culprit, as our natural progesterone helps us fall asleep and healthy levels of estrogen keep us asleep. We see these hormonal changes usually start at age 40 in most people.

However, even with adequate hormones, many continue to experience frequent sleep disruptions and would like to find help to aid with achieving adequate sleep without feeling groggy in the morning. I have found several, non-melatonin, over the counter supplements that I have personally found to be effective that you can take to help you fall and stay asleep, that do not cause any morning grogginess, which is often an issue with melatonin or taking sleep aids such as Benadryl. I recommend taking 1 each before bed of the below supplements.
