More specifically,14.5% of adults struggle to fall asleep, while 17.8% struggle to stay asleep1.
And how does it work?
The science of your sleep cycle
Melatonin2is our body’s “sleep hormone.”
It’s through this clock that our body is able to regulate with the light-dark rhythms of our environment.
And if it’s light outside, the opposite happens, ultimately inhibiting the synthesis of melatonin.
In a nutshell: A healthy sleep pattern starts (and ends) with melatonin!
The bottom line
As human beings, we thrive on consistency.
Cultivating a healthy sleep pattern is no exception.
Now that we know more about melatoninwhat supportsanddisrupts itisn’t it about time we get our sleep together?
Thankfully, it can be simple.
Be mindful of light exposure too close to bedtime.
Set screens aside at least an hour before bedtime, and enjoy dim and relaxing lighting instead.
- You’re about to sleep better tonight, rest assured!
