Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping, a lack of sleep could adversely affect your immune system, leaving you susceptible to a bad cold or case of the flu and mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.

We can all benefit from improving the quality of our sleep. For many of us, it may simply be a case of making small lifestyle or attitude adjustments in order to help us sleep better.  Up to one third of the population may suffer from insomnia (lack of sleep or poor quality sleep) or other sleep problems. These can affect mood, energy and concentration levels, our relationships, and our ability to stay awake and function at work during the day.

Below are some tips to help you get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep at night and keep you at 100% throughout the winter season:

Have a relaxing nightly bedtime ritual: Set an alarm on your phone 30 mins prior to the time you want to go to bed to make time for whatever ritual works best for you (i.e. meditation/breathing exercises, reading,)

Go to sleep and wake up at consistent times: If you need to catch up on sleep you should take a nap, as it will impact your sleep-wake cycle less than sleeping in.

Limit caffeine: Caffeine should be limited to the first few hours of the day, none within 12 hours of sleep.

Optimize your bedroom for sleep: Make sure that temperature is cool (mid 60’s) and the room is fully dark as light interferes with sleep cycles.

Limit blue light exposure before bed: Instead of winding down on a screen, try listening to music or reading a book – Research has found that exposure to blue light suppresses the production of melatonin more than any other type of light.

Enhance your body’s capacity to heal and experience nourishing sleep: Explore natural sleep solutions like Green Stem effective sleep tincture that’s rich in award-winning CBD and enhanced with other sleep-supporting ingredients and extracts (Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Zinc), helping you experience deep, natural and refreshing sleep and waking refreshed and ready for the day.

CBD is a natural compound derived from hemp that is widely understood to support the body’s natural defences and ease stress, anxiety and insomnia through its interaction with the body’s endo-cannabinoid system. The combination of these ingredients in one safe, easy to use and effective night-time tincture can help ease you into a long and restful sleep that will leave you revitalised and ready for following day. This tincture has a subtle, pleasant taste that helps to imbue a sense of calm and relaxation before you close your eyes for the night.
