Nutraceuticals and Sleep

Stressful and uncertain times tend to keep us up at night. Even before the days of Covid, the stress of daily life made it difficult for millions to shut down in the evening. Nearly 25% of Americans reported long periods of suboptimal sleep in 2018. 

If you’ve dealt with insomnia before, then it’s likely you were probably willing to try anything to finally get some shut-eye. Not only is insomnia physically uncomfortable, but it can also have a serious impact on one’s mental health. However, many people still like to avoid habit-forming pharmaceuticals that bring relief at the cost of several short and long-term side effects. Nutraceutical products are also often significantly cheaper than these prescribed medications depending on one’s insurance coverage situation.

Nearly 70 million people in the United States suffer from chronic sleep problems according to the CDC.

Lack of sleep is associated with multiple health issues, including physical diseases, mental health issues, and lower working productivity. While many of the serious issues are caused by sleep apnea, other milder sleep disorders may be alleviated by diet, exercise, and stress reduction.

Poor sleep quality is also associated with many physical health issues.

Some of these physical health issues include hypertension, diabetes, strokes, obesity, poor immune function, and heart health issues. By consuming nutraceuticals, eating a healthy diet, and exercising, you can help to improve your sleep quality and also improve your physical and mental health.

Nutraceutical products may be able to play a role in helping to improve your sleep quality.
