What is Ashwagandha and What Does it Do?

When we’re not getting adequate sleep is when things can start to go wrong.

Sleep is important for overall health and wellbeing and it’s while we’re asleep that our bodies undergo many important physiological functions. 

Why is Sleep Important?

During sleep, the body restores itself. Getting adequate, refreshing sleep may also help to and emotional wellbeing, may help to reduce the effects of stress on the body and may help to reduce the symptoms of mild anxiety. 

How to Get More Deep Sleep?

Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule is a great starting point when it comes to getting more high quality, deep sleep.

Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends, helps to regulate the body’s internal clock and can help improve sleep quality.

Establishing a bedtime routine to help wind down and prepare for sleep is a good idea. This could involve taking a warm shower or bath, reading a book or practicing meditation or breathing techniques.

It’s a good idea to limit blue light exposure for the last couple of hours prior to sleep. This means dimming overhead lights and avoiding excessive screen time.

Making sure your sleep environment is conducive to sleep may seem obvious but is nonetheless important. It is easier to get more deep sleep in a cool, dark and quiet bedroom.

Avoiding alcohol and caffeine in the evenings is a good idea, as these substances can disrupt sleep patterns and make it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep for some people.

Adding a high quality ashwagandha sleep supplement such as Nature’s Way Adult Vita Gummies Sleep Ashwagandha may help enhance sleep quality, reduce sleeplessness and support deep, refreshing sleep.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
