Sleepless Nights

My Sleep Struggle & What's Helped
I've battled sleep problems for as long as I can remember.
Typically, I get 5-6 hours, but stress cuts that to 4 hours. Hitting my 40s has made things worse – erratic sleep, possibly perimenopause (more on that later!).
A sleep specialist suggested:
No afternoon naps
Limit light and social media 1-2 hours before bed
Darkroom and with white noise on the background
Relaxation techniques
Exercise
Supplements that have helped me:
Melatonin: [to buy go to my Amazon affiliate]
Vitamin D3: [to buy go to my Amazon affiliate]
Magnesium Glycinate: [to buy go to my Amazon affiliate]
Melatonin helps signal sleep time and improves my circadian rhythm, leading to deeper sleep for cell regeneration.
Vitamin D3 is vital for mood, muscles, bones, immunity, and heart health
My Super-Chill Sleep Team: Magnesium Glycinate & Vitamin D3
Together, these are a game-changer for me:
Sleep: Magnesium relaxes muscles and eases anxiety, while D3 supports overall sleep quality. They create a peaceful sleep environment.
Bones & Muscles: D3 aids calcium absorption for strong bones, while magnesium supports bone and muscle function. They work in tandem for optimal bone and muscle health.
Mood & Stress: They regulate mood, promoting calm and well-being.
Nutrient Absorption: Magnesium activates vitamin D, maximizing its benefits.
Muscle Cramps: They team up to reduce cramps.
Personally, I feel more balanced, sleep better, and have less muscle tension when I take them.
Remember, everyone is different. Consult your doctor before starting any supplements to find the right fit for you.
For Melatonin, I use Natrol while for Vit D3 and Magnesium are in Healthy Options, since I live in the Philippines, Healthy Options is my go-to place for all trusted and credible health products.
