Sleep Support
A restful good night’s sleep is essential for health and wellbeing. During this time our bodies recover, replenish, and repair from mental and physical wear and tear. Occasionally, due to a variety of reasons, we need support getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Sleeplessness can affect people at any age and can occur short term (up to three weeks) or long term (above 3–4 weeks). The quality of your sleep can impact on memory, concentration, mood, resilience, and overall wellbeing.
Sleep habits and hygiene
Simple changes to your nutrition and lifestyle can have a big impact on your sleep patterns.
- Consuming nutritious food can support energy and vitality throughout the day. To support your up and go, try our Energy Support supplements.
- Exercise and daily movement can support a good night’s rest at the end of the day.
- Meditation and mindfulness at the end of the day can support relaxation and ease a busy mind – which can support you to drift off to sleep with ease.
- Avoiding caffeine after 2pm can also support you to get to bed on time, giving you a longer, more restorative sleep, opt for caffeine-free herbal tea instead.
- Reducing screen time before bed allows your body’s natural sleep response to kick in.
- If you have returned from a long trip, have a look at our Travel & Jet Lag Support to get your sleep cycle back on track.
