When we live in high stress states and are constantly switched on with work or social media , let's add stimulants like coffee, alcohol, sugar and its a wonder why we have sleeping issues .......

But what else can affect sleep ? 

 

• Hormone imbalances , ages and stages.
• Genetics ( early bird or night owl )
• Low Vitamin D levels 
• Low Iron levels 
• Low Magnesium levels 
• Thyroid function 
• Light pollution ,noise and smells.
• Temperature in room - over heating 
• High activity prior to bed 
• Diet -Refined sugars and additives

 

Taking sleep medications can affect your brain long term as it stops the body getting good REM ( deep ) sleep which is vital for memory and brain function.

One of my first points I go to for chronic insomnia is getting a good sleep hygiene checklist together .

I like to assess the following in testing - Adrenals ,hormones, neurotransmitters for the best natural steps forward.

 

 Here are some of my favourite natural sleep aids 

L-Theanine 

Magnesium

Tryptophan 

Valerian

California poppy 

Lavender 

Passionflower
