About two years ago, I added another sleep supplement to my routine: mbg’s sleep support+. I’d heard that it could help you not only fall asleep faster but also stay asleep longer and reach those deep, restorative stages of sleep. Reviewers noted that the supplement helped them wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day—a feeling that my existing routine rarely delivered. I immediately noticed that the combination of magnesium bisglycinate, jujube, and PharmaGABA® in sleep support+ helped me really stay asleep through the night.* Not only was I falling asleep even quicker than usual, but I was also waking up much more easily in the mornings.* I took the two sleep aids together for a few years until I started reading more about the potential risks of taking melatonin nightly. I started to question whether I should consume a hormone (several milligrams of it) so regularly—especially one that didn’t have a ton of credible research behind it. So, earlier this year, I gradually weaned myself off melatonin and have only been taking sleep support+ ever since. I’m happy to report that the hormone-free supplement has still been super-effective at helping me sleep better—and I have way less stress surrounding bedtime.* When sleep time approaches, I’ll turn on my humidifier and air conditioner for a bit of white noise and slip into bed with a book until I feel myself becoming super sleepy. I no longer make it more than a few minutes before falling asleep. Knowing this, I no longer worry about whether I’ll be able to fall asleep. This new routine has restored my confidence in my body’s ability to get to sleep, and bedtime feels a whole lot less stressful. Removing that nightly sense of anxiousness has been huge for not only my sleep but my overall quality of life.
