Getting out of bed at the same time every morning (even if you've slept poorly) resets your body's internal sleep/wake cycle, helping you fall asleep faster and sleep throughout the night.

In addition, many nutritional and herbal supplements can help promote restful sleep. Look for sleep-inducing ingredients such as theanine, hops, wild lettuce, Jamaican dogwood, passionflower, and valerian.

All 6 of these can be found in combination in the Revitalizing Sleep Formula herbal mix. Magnesium, as well as ribose can also be helpful, as can melatonin in small doses (0.5 milligram).

If you find yourself especially wakeful at bedtime, it could be the result of adrenal cortisol stress hormone levels being too high — even if they are too low during the day.

To help manage occassional stress, I recommend the product Sleep Tonight. You will see the effect within the first few nights.

In this situation, adding a 1 ounce protein snack at bedtime, such as a handful of nuts, can help prevent waking too early in the morning. Many people find that the combination of the Revitalizing Sleep Formula and Sleep Tonight herbal mixes offer powerful sleep support.

These easy-to-form habits and natural sleep aids can be very helpful to maintaining normal, healthy sleep patterns. Here's to a good night's rest — you deserve it.
