Food, Vitamins And Supplements To Improve Your Sleep

If you’re struggling to get a good night’s sleep then the right combination of food, vitamins and supplements can make a huge difference to the quality of your nocturnal rest.

While it is always advisable to consult your doctor before embarking upon dietary changes or introducting supplements into your system, here are some foods and supplements that you might want to consider when looking for ways to improve your sleep.

Magnesium For Sleep

Magnesium is a natural compound that our bodies need for nay biological functions. However, magnesium can also have a profoundly positive effect on sleep.

If you are deficient in magnesium then a supplement can often help you to get a more restful sleep. This is due to the calming and soothing effect that magnesium has on the central nervous system

Unfortunately, magnesium is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb in tablet form. Therefore, the best way to get magnesium into your system is either by taking it as a powder dissolved in water, or topically through the skin.

Many good magnesium supplements also contain calcium, as calcium helps the body to absorb magnesium.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an Indian herb used commonly in Ayurvedic Medicine.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, which means that it helps your body to adapt to the changes it most needs. For example, if you are particularly stressed and are finding it difficult to relax, Ashwagandah will have a calming effect on your mind and body and help to bring about a more restful state.

If, on the other hand, you are feeling low in energy, then Ashwagandha will act like a tonic to pick you up. In this way, it’s a bit like ginseng, but without the hyperness.

Lemon Balm

Lemon Balm is a supplement that is often overlooked. However, it contains potent calming properties that help to calm the mind and bring about a calm and tranquil state.

Often combined with L-Theanine, Lemon Balm can help to calm anxious nerves and prepare the body and mind for sleep.

English Lavender

Lavendar has long been used as a mild sedative as it has a calming effect on the cephalic nervous system when inhaled.

Many people sprinkle Lavender oil on their pillow at night, or even sleep with a pillow infused with Lavender due to its calming properties.
