Nighty Night - Fighting Insomnia
For many of us, a good night’s sleep is elusive. We experience a vicious cycle of not sleeping, then worrying about it, therefore creating pressure to sleep and anxiety about not sleeping well. This cyclical sleep pattern can leave us susceptible to disease and possibly weight gain and can be due to a diminishing level of Melatonin in the body. Melatonin is a hormone that is produced in the brain by the pineal gland that helps to regulate circadian rhythm (the body’s biological clock) and is responsible for restful, productive sleep patterns. When there is a deficiency, the results can be extremely frustrating (and tiresome).

Sleep Tight
A soothing, restful night’s sleep is incredibly important for maintaining good health. Without it, the immune system can weaken, leaving the body susceptible to many illnesses and health conditions.1 Melatonin has been used for insomnia relief, to decrease the amount of time it takes to fall asleep (sleep latency), and to improve the depth and quality of sleep all naturally and with no narcotic effects.
As we age, natural Melatonin levels diminish considerably. Many older adults produce only minute amounts of Melatonin or in some instances, none at all. Small amounts of Melatonin are found in food sources like fruits, vegetables and meats but in most cases it is not enough to correct Melatonin imbalances. Supplements can fill the Melatonin deficiency but they aren’t all equally effective. Our superior sleep supplement Dual-Release Melatonin works by releasing a steady stream of Melatonin throughout the night, allowing you to stay asleep.
So think about the benefits of all-natural dual-release Melatonin-then sleep on it.
Medical Support for the Time-Release Form
Dr. Ray Sahelian, well-known in the field of sleep deprivation, says in his book, Melatonin: Nature's Sleeping Pill, "If you have a tendency to wake up during the night, it might be because Melatonin has a short half-life. I recommend using a time-release form... This will provide a steady dose of Melatonin throughout the night, and make likely to have a full deep sleep."2
