Don’t skimp on sleep, no supplement can replace your beauty rest.
The old adage, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” has many shortcomings including killing your sex drive and aging your skin. Lack of sleep also increases your risk of serious health problems.
You need 8 hours of sleep, that’s right, I’ll say it again, 8 hours of sleep, this is what’s needed for your body to adequately release hormones to help repair cells. Your immune system relies on sleep to be able to fight harmful substances.
Have trouble sleeping? GABA might be a problem. Try some GABA promoting herbs like Passion flower or Valerian. Also try to limit screen time in the later hours, as it blocks your sleep hormone, melatonin. Keep the bedroom dark and cool to stay asleep.
If possible allow yourself to SLEEP IN. Do it. Get more sleep.
