Do you struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep at night? Do you often wake up feeling tired and groggy, or find it hard to concentrate during the day due to lack of sleep? Do you have ruminating thoughts due to stress at night preventing you from sleeping? Or perhaps you have tried sleeping pills or other remedies but are still struggling and just not feeling yourself?
Insomnia can have a significant impact on your life, affecting your overall health, mood, and productivity. Nutritional and lifestyle interventions can provide huge benefits to help you achieve restful, rejuvenating sleep so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep, leading to feelings of fatigue and irritability during the day. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 27% of the population suffers from some form of sleep disorder. Sleep deprivation can lead to huge drops in memory and cognition, making it difficult to function at work or being too tired to engage in social activities.
Insomnia can be caused by a variety of factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, low melatonin levels,(sleep hormone), certain medications, and an unbalanced diet along with a lifestyle that does not support good sleep habits or optimal circadian rhythm.
Supporting nutrition through a well-balanced anti-inflammatory diet, balancing blood sugar levels, avoiding heavy meals before bed, limiting caffeine and alcohol intake and increasing magnesium and tryptophan rich foods and lifestyle support to optimise circadian rhythm, alongside selected vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements like magnesium, L-theanine, and lemon balm, can be incredibly effective for improved sleep and overall sleep quality.
So look no further, our Nutritionists are here to help you fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality to achieve a restorative night's sleep.
