In a child’s mind, sleep is a pesky routine that is forced upon them by parents. The only thing it seems to do is take away valuable play time! For adults, sleep is the complete opposite! We fantasise about the time that we will finally be able to lay our head on our pillow and disappear into dream world. Sometimes when it’s time to sleep, we lie in bed for hours, trying to drift off, but instead find ourselves woefully unsuccessful.

Why do we need sleep?

The benefits of a good night’s sleep are as endless as is the balance between night and day, work and play. Suffering from sleep disturbances, having difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, or waking up feeling tired can affect your body’s ability to function at its best. During sleep, memories are strengthened. Sleep helps to spur creativity, sharpen attention, lower stress levels, and increase reaction time and decision making.

Sleepiness sufferers, fear not!

Cooler nights, cosy beds, the sun setting earlier, less allergens in the air and an excuse for a warm cup of tea before bed means that autumn is a great time to catch up on sleep. Another solution is taking Lighthouse Sleep Support, which combines magnesium with the herb tart cherry.

Tart cherry contains natural phytonutrients that support the body's natural circadian rhythms and helps to support a deeper and more restful sleep. As an antioxidant, tart cherry also supports general wellbeing. Magnesium, a mineral that supports muscle relaxation and stress relief, can be added to tart cherry to enhance the benefits of relaxation before sleep and throughout the day. A relaxed, stress-free body can help towards a good night’s sleep.

Tips to improve your sleep:

Stick to a sleep schedule

Exercise to burn energy and release mind-relaxing endorphins

Wind down with a bedtime routine

Sleep on a comfortable mattress 

Beware of caffeine – try to have your last coffee by 3pm

Turn off electronics an hour before bed

Take natural, non-addictive sleep supplements such as Lighthouse Sleep Support.

For added balance

A complex of vitamin B can help support you during the day with stress and energy levels, maintaining the balance between when you are active and the times when you need to sleep. Stop daydreaming about a great night’s sleep and make it a reality with Lighthouse Sleep Support, along with Lighthouse Vitamin B Complex to provide the support you need to get the sleep you deserve and the energy to take on the day.
