You probably already know that getting good sleep is the first step to having a good day. But in fact, the benefits of sleep go beyond feeling well-rested and ready to take on the morning—consistent, good sleep quality, where your sleep is restful and restorative, can benefit both your mental and physical health, including your immune health. As for how much sleep you need, it can vary by age and lifestyle, but it is generally recommended that adults get between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.†

Quality sleep isn’t just about sleep duration (the number of minutes you’re asleep), it’s also about your uninterrupted sleep over time. So, it’s vital to set up your night for sleep success. You’ll want to consider your bedtime routine—all those activities that take place before you go to sleep. Some good bedtime practices include keeping to a regular sleep and wake schedule, turning off your digital devices two hours before bedtime, and limiting caffeine and intense exercise in the evenings so that you can feel relaxed and ready for bed.

We get it. Sometimes your sleep can be off, either because of traveling or occasional stress resulting in poor sleep quality. In these times, a sleep aid with Melatonin might be just what you need. Melatonin is a natural hormone your body produces that helps to regulate your sleep and wake cycles. It's a drug-free way to reset your sleep cycle so you can fall asleep faster and get restful sleep. When choosing a Melatonin supplement, it’s best to start with a low dose and increase as needed (up to a max of 10 mg) until you find what works best for you.†
