Do you find yourself daydreaming of a great night’s sleep - only to fall into bed and lay awake for hours?

Not getting enough restful sleep can leave you feeling both mentally and physically depleted, impacting both your mood and your ability to be productive through the day.

Our bodies sleep-awake cycle is driven by a tiny, but very important part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is responsible for producing melatonin, the hormone responsible for keeping us awake during the day and helping us to sleep at night. Darkness signals the brain to make more melatonin, making us sleepy, while light signals it to make less, keeping us awake. When this sleep-wake cycle is disrupted, both falling asleep and staying asleep can be more difficult.

The good news is there are some great herbs and nutrients to support a good night’s sleep, starting with magnesium. Magnesium is an important mineral for supporting nervous system health and a healthy stress response in the body. Herbs of Gold Magnesium Night Plus combines high-strength magnesium with traditional sleep herbs Passionflower and California poppy, traditionally used in Western herbal medicine as nervous system relaxants, to relieve restlessness and to improve sleep.
