To help you get to sleep naturally, we combined the most effective natural sleep aids. These have had a long history of nonaddictive use. Some, like hops and chamomile, have a history of use spanning centuries.
Sleep⁸ helps rebalance your body’s natural circadian rhythm. Here’s a look at some of the ingredients in Sleep⁸:
Passionflower extract supports production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to suppress excessive brain activity and induce relaxation.
Melatonin supports circadian rhythms that regulate sleep cycles.
Skullcap extract supports the nervous system.
Although catnip drives cats crazy, it helps humans relax.
Magnesium, as highly bioavailable magnesium bisglycinate, supports the myelin sheaths that insulate nerve fibers and support nervous system function.
Qiye Shen’an Pian herb supplies isolates which have been shown to support the generation and maintenance of neurons within the cerebral cortex, that are responsible for memory consolidation, perceptual awareness, and consciousness.
Sleep is critical; deep sleep is essential for tissue repair, committing information to long-term memory, and overall great health. Studies with laboratory animals have shown higher mortality rates for those exposed to sleep deprivation than to starvation. Sleep is a necessity, not a luxury.
