Q: There’s so much going on in my life that I find it hard to shut off my brain and fall asleep. I have talked to my doctor, but am weary of trying prescription medications. Is there something natural I can try first?
A: Undoubtedly, many of us are juggling a lot of unknowns along with our usual life stresses and sometimes, “shutting off” our brain at the end of the day can be a challenge. Along with proper SLEEP HYGIENE, supplements such as SISU’s SLEEP EASE can be helpful. The star of this formula is l-theanine, an amino acid that promotes alpha-waves in the brain, which are associated with a state of calm and relaxation. Along with Lavender, Lemon balm, Melatonin and Valerian for inducing relaxation and drowsiness, just one tablet every evening before bedtime can help you achieve a more restful sleep without the risk of physiological dependence.
