Get the good nights sleep you’ve been dreaming of

One of the most important parts of any health routine... Hey {NAME}, Today we’re writing to you about one of the most important parts of any health routine, that is often one of the less prioritized. You guessed it: We’re talking about sleep! Sleep impacts every part of our health. That’s why we feel our best when we’re well rested, and why we may suffer from mood swings, blood sugar imbalances, poor memory, and everything in between if we’re not getting enough. Among the numerous responsibilities we juggle daily, quality sleep often takes the back burner, and those repercussions show up in our health. Plus when we are tired we don’t have the ability to be fully present for the people we love. Luckily, there are plenty of things we can do to support better sleep. - Get on a regular schedule to create a natural sleep cycle for the body. - Get exposure to sunlight first thing in the morning for about 20 minutes to support an aligned circadian rhythm. - Meditate, even for just a few minutes in the morning, to improve your sleep quality (and your overall quality of life for that matter!). - Avoid screens at least an hour before bed and dim the lights. - Try guided imagery, meditation, or deep breathing to calm your mind and help you drift into sleep. Many patients get amazing results with [Dr. Hyman's UltraCalm CD](. Supplements can also be really useful for getting the high-quality sleep you’ve been craving. Of them, melatonin is the one our practitioners at The UltraWellness Center are asked about the most. This naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland (and also the digestive mucosal cells), helps control circadian rhythm so we are in line with the natural light and dark cycles of the sun. And though the body does produce melatonin, that production can get thrown off by various things, like the screens we mentioned above. When it comes to supplementing for better sleep, melatonin is just one of many options. Herbs like passionflower and valerian as well as the mineral magnesium can all have soothing benefits on the nervous system, making it easier to fall and stay asleep. You can try each of these options on their own to see how they impact your sleep, but you can also find them all in this one supplement that is a team favorite, [Benesom from Metagenics](.
