Tips for Supporting Restful Sleep

Hey friends, did you know that what you do during the day impacts your sleep? It does! I’ve learned some tips and tricks over the years to help me get more consistent sleep.
First, I set my alarm and wake up at a consistent time, usually before the sun comes up.
Next, I stop drinking coffee and other caffeinated drinks before 5pm. This seems like a no-brainer but a lot of us drink soda or tea during the evening, which can really keep you up.
Third, I exercise almost every day. I usually run in the morning, and then lift weights in the afternoon. I’ve found that there is no better way to get my body naturally tired in the evening.
In addition, I eat an early dinner so I have time to digest before laying down. For me, laying down right after dinner can give me heartburn and indigestion – which in turn keeps me awake late at night.
The next is super important – I turn my phone screen off about an hour before bed, and do something more relaxing like reading a book.
And on occasional nights to support restful sleep, I take one of Nature Made’s sleep solutions: Sleep Longer™, Back to Sleep™, or 10 mg Melatonin Gummies. I take these three sleep supplements on different nights for different needs.
You take the Sleep Longer™ supplement an hour before bedtime, and it has extended release melatonin to help you stay asleep longer. Sleep Longer™ is a 100% drug-free, naturally acting sleep aid that helps calm your mind† with GABA and L-Theanine. I fall asleep faster† with Immediate Release Melatonin, and stay asleep longer† with Extended Release Melatonin. — all in one tablet.‡† Use as directed: adults can take 1 tablet one hour before bedtime with water. Do not exceed 1 tablet daily.
Another is Nature Made’s Back to Sleep™ – which is there for when I wake up and can’t fall back asleep again. These have been a game changer! I used to wake up and then I would be awake for hours trying to fall back asleep. Back to Sleep™ – is a fast dissolve, 100% drug-free sleep aid that combines Melatonin, L-Theanine, and GABA to help you relax and quickly fall back to sleep.† Take at least 4 hours before waking.† Use as directed.
Next are my favorites – Nature Made’s 10 mg Melatonin Gummies. I love the flavor, and I love that they are gummies. Gummies make taking my vitamins and supplements so much better, so I’m glad Nature Made has a sleep solution gummy. 10 mg Melatonin Gummies provide 10 mg of melatonin per serving, which helps regulate the body’s sleep cycle.† Chew 2 gummies one hour before bedtime to support restful sleep.†
These three naturally acting sleep solutions from Nature Made have really helped me with occasional sleep issues. I used to fear the nighttime, but along with my good daytime habits, these supplements have helped me support my sleep so I can feel great during the day!
