Are You Sleeping?

Did you know that approximately 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia?

That means about 1 in 4 adults suffer from this disorder. This is a major complaint of individuals who come into the wellness center throughout the years.

This indicates that a large amount of Americans must be taking a sleeping medication. Unfortunately, these medications can cause amnesia. We have heard of stories of individuals shopping online and getting packages delivered without any recollection of ever ordering. Some that take sleeping medications report forgetfulness about simple things, like what tasks they completed that day.

Put Those Sleep Problems To Rest !!

Eating foods with the amino acid L-tryptophan, may encourage more restful sleep. Some have even reported episodes of wakeful periods in the middle of the night and getting up and eating these foods and it puts them back to sleep.

Some foods full of L-tryptophan include nuts, red meat, chicken, turkey, eggs, oats, beans, milk or cheese.

Supplements for a Sound Sleep

Here are some products that we have seen work throughout the years for individuals with sleep issues (everyone is unique for what they respond to).

Sweet Dreams – an herbal and mineral complex – this works for a lot of people, but not everyone.

Client Testimonial: "If you want a good nights sleep these are truly the best nite time sleeping pills I've every had. For me, I have to take Sweet Dreams a couple of hours before bed. Try them, you will love them & no side effects either! If 2 pills make you tired the next day, try just 1 pill. That's what works for me."

Stress Calming Factors - If stress or busy-brain is keeping you up at night, incorporate 4-6 Stress Calming Factors per day.  The closer you can take it to bedtime, the better because it may help turn off your busy brain.  This also calms the worrier throughout the day and helps with mood swings.

Client Testimonial: "I am always juggling work, home, kids and community commitments. I have problems falling asleep because my mind keeps racing about all the things on my to-do list. I have been taking Stress Calming Factors for a little over a week and find that I 'm not as tense or stressed & have a much easier time falling asleep. Glad I tried it."

Triple Magnesium/Triple Calcium - This has always been a client favorite, it is especially helpful if you have sluggish bowels; muscle cramps; restless leg syndrome and or headaches as this formulation is not only helpful for sleep, but the aforementioned conditions as well. We have found that this works in 75% of the cases.

Client Testimonial: " I've been trying to go off of habit forming sleeping meds. There were some rough nights with no sleep. I ordered this product and slept 5 solid hours the first night. The second night I slept about 61/2 hours. I was still waking up about 1:00- 4:00, but I got back to sleep easily. I've been recommending it to friends and family. Leg cramps also disappeared. I rarely review items unless I feel strongly one way or the other. If you cannot sleep, give this a try. I'm now sleeping a good 8 hours and am about to cut my prescription dose down the last notch. I'll be free of those drugs soon. I don't think I could have done it without this product."

**Some people combine 2 - 3 of these products together and this perfectly safe to do. Depends on how tough your case is.
