Sleep – Very Kind Mind https://verykindmind.com Wed, 10 Jun 2020 09:33:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://i0.wp.com/verykindmind.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/logo-retina.jpg?fit=32%2C22&ssl=1 Sleep – Very Kind Mind https://verykindmind.com 32 32 175467941 Magnesium https://verykindmind.com/product/magnesium/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=magnesium Mon, 05 Oct 2015 12:57:41 +0000 https://verykindmind.com/?post_type=product&p=17205 Magnesium is lost in the sweat and contributes to healthy sleep. Supplementing this may not be needed if taking a multivitamin, or if your diet includes plentiful greens and vegetables. There is considerable evidence to show that correcting a magnesium deficiency will lead to better and deeper sleep

How to take:

200-400mg taken once daily at bedtime.

It can cause some drowsiness, so make sure that the first time you take it is before bed.

Why we recommend this Supplement

  • Evidence supports taking 5-HTP reduces appetite and cravings
  • Evidence suggests it may also help with sleep and mood

Notes:

  • 5-HTP can interact with certain medications – especially antidepressants, or other mood or psychiatric-related medications. Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement.

How to take:

To prevent cravings – take one dose (50-100mg) before bedtime. Be cautious as this may cause drowsiness the first few times you take it. Do not take this supplement if you are taking any prescription medications for depression or mental health.

Along with several other supplements recommended on VKM, chamomile work well to relax the brain and the body and help the user ease into a deep, relaxing slumber. It can safely be used with any or all of the other supplements recommended for this purpose

How to take:

Start with 200mg once daily an hour before bedtime. May increase to 1100mg as needed for desired effect.

While it does improve sleep quality, while helping you fall asleep and stay asleep, keep in mind – it is a hormone naturally produced by the body. As such, try not to use it for longer than 2 weeks, as it could impact your body’s natural production of the hormone.

How to take:

Start with a very low dose – 1-3mg taken at bedtime. Do not go above 10mg taken in one dose.

The studies showing this are based on subjective reporting and lack objective evidence – but sleep quality is inherently difficult to measure anyway. The herb is safe, cheap, and free of any major side effects, so it is worth considering if you are struggling with getting to sleep regularly

How to take:

300-900mg taken at bedtime. Increase dose as needed for desired effects.
