With this in mind, Certified Sleep Coach, Nicky Blakeman outlines below five extra reasons to prioritise your sleep ahead of World Sleep Day. And if you're already searching for sleeping gummies or gummies for sleep to give your routine a boost, stick around, we'll show you what's actually working for our customers a little further down.
1. Fat loss
When you’re sleep-deprived, your hunger hormones are directly affected which makes you crave unhealthy food high in sugar and salt. A good night’s sleep helps these hormones to function normally so you feel fuller when you eat and less hungry throughout the day. Getting more sleep is a great way to change your appetite and helps you to stay away from unhealthy snacks so you can maintain a healthy weight - no willpower needed!
2. Improved immune system
Another benefit of sleep that isn’t talked about enough is its impact on your immune system. While a lot of focus is quite rightly put on diet, sleep is also essential to supporting your immune system. Sleep is an important period of bodily rest and regularly getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night helps to make sure you’re able to effectively fight off bacteria and viruses. As a former sufferer of insomnia, I have experienced this first hand with recurring throat infections when I wasn't sleeping which has disappeared since I improved my sleep. It's a big reason so many people start looking into sleeping gummies as a gentler first step before anything stronger.
3. Could look more attractive
When you’re sleep deprived, you can be prone to red and swollen eyes, dark circles under the eyes, paler skin and drooping corners of the mouth. Getting more sleep prevents all of these, helping you to look and feel your best. On top of this, your skin repairs and renews when you’re asleep which helps to reduce the signs of ageing so you can stay fresh faced with fewer wrinkles.
4. Feeling motivated to do things you’ve been putting off
Struggling to find the motivation you need? Everything is more effort when you’re sleep-deprived. It’s hard enough to complete the essential tasks in your day when you’re exhausted, let alone anything extra. So whether it’s a workout, a side project or some DIY, a healthy sleeping pattern can give you the energy and motivation you need to do that thing you’ve been putting off!
5. Increased Libido
Prioritising shut-eye can help to improve your performance in the bedroom in more ways than one! Sleep and sex both have a major impact on your wellbeing but the relationship between them has often been overlooked. Sleep deprivation has been linked to decreased libido with sleepiness and fatigue negatively impacting your desire,so getting yourself into a healthy sleeping routine is a great way to improve your sex life!
Why Griffonia Seed Is Worth Knowing About
If better sleep is starting to sound appealing (and honestly, why wouldn't it be), you might be wondering where to start. One ingredient worth knowing about is Griffonia Seed ; a natural source of 5-HTP that's become a go-to for people looking for 5-htp sleep support without reaching for anything stronger.Here's the simple version: 5-HTP is a direct precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate your mood and your sleep-wake cycle. Serotonin is then naturally converted into melatonin in the body ; the hormone that actually tells you it's time to switch off. So rather than introducing melatonin directly, Griffonia Seed works with your body's own process to help you wind down.It's often paired with Passiflora Extract (passionflower), which supports GABA activity , a calming pathway that helps quiet down evening restlessness and racing thoughts, which is exactly the combination you'll find in our Bedtime Gummies.
