In Need Of Some Good Sleep?
Sleep is an essential part of health, yet about 1 in 3 Americans aren't getting enough restorative sleep.

If you could benefit from more restorative sleep (I think that's all of us), then keep reading for our favorite sleep support supplements and healthy sleep tips!
Why You Need Vitamin D
There are a few ways that Vitamin D and sleep are connected. First, there are binding sites for Vitamin D on nearly every cell in the body, including the ones that affect sleep. Secondly, Vitamin D plays a role in the production of melatonin, your sleep hormone. Beyond sleep, vitamin D levels are necessary for many other functions in the body, including a healthy immune system. With back to school around the corner and summer coming to an end, it might be a good idea to get Vitamin D back in your routine.

Power Down the Electronics
Power down your electronic devices at least an hour before bed. The blue light from these devices stimulate your brain and can disrupt your ability to get into a deep sleep by lowering your production of melatonin. If you don’t want to take melatonin you can get it naturally by drinking tart cherry juice in the evening, which promotes your body’s production of melatonin. If you must use electronics before bedtime, consider purchasing blue light blocking glasses and switching your devices to the "night shift mode" to reduce blue light.
