Sleep is a condition of body and mind which typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed and consciousness practically suspended**.
Why do we sleep?
We tend to think of sleep as a time when the mind and body shut down. But this is not the case sleep is an active period in which a lot of important processing, restoration and strengthening occurs**.
In broad terms researchers believe it is to enable our bodies and especially our brains to recover. Our bodies all require long periods of sleep in order to restore and rejuvenate, to grow muscle, repair tissue and synthesise hormones**.
Recently researchers have been able to find out some of the detailed processes involved. During the day brain cells build connections with other parts of the brain as a result of new experiences. During sleep it seems that important connections are strengthened and unimportant ones are pruned**.
How much sleep is required?
There is no set amount of time that everyone needs to sleep, since it varies from person to person. Results from the sleep profiler indicate that people like to sleep anywhere between 5 and 11 hours, with the average being 7.75 hours**.
What would happen if we didn't sleep?
Research also shows that sleep-deprived individuals often have difficulty in responding to rapidly changing situations and making rational judgements. Sleep deprivation not only has a major impact on cognitive functioning but also on emotional and physical health. Disorders such as sleep apnea which result in excessive daytime sleepiness have been linked to stress and high blood pressure.
Research has also suggested that sleep loss may increase the risk of obesity because chemicals and hormones that play a key role in controlling appetite and weight gain are released during sleep**.
Why choose Life On Melatonin-Life?
Life On Melatonin-Life 5mg is a fast release supplement specially designed to support sleep, and features high-quality herbal extracts such as Valerian, Ashwagandha and Purple Passion Flower, alongside Melatonin.
Life On Melatonin-Life contains 5mg of Melatonin. Melatonin is naturally produced by the pineal gland in the brain and is responsible for regulating the body's circadian rhythm to help manage the natural sleep cycle. Melatonin is shown to shorten the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, enhance sleep quality, and lengthen the time asleep.**
Melatonin-Life contains high-quality herbal extracts such as
Purple Passion Flower (Passiflora Incarnata) – Studies have shown it may boost levels of Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA) in the brain, which may aid in sleep and relaxation.**
Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) – Studies have shown that Ashwagandha may improve sleep quality through helping to balance stress hormones and increase relaxation.**
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis l.) – A herb native to Asia and Europe, Valerian has been shown to improve sleep and reduce anxiety and is considered a safer alternative than prescription sleep aids.**.
Vitamin B6 – contributes to normal psychological function, and the regulation of hormonal activity.**
Magnesium – contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function.**
