OPTIMAL SLEEP AND STRESS MANAGEMENT

Optimal Sleep and Stress Management

Slow Down for Optimal Health

According to the CDC, an estimated one in three adults doesn’t get enough sleep. Sleep is a key component to consider for your functional approach to wellness. It’s not only important for physical energy and mental alertness, but it’s essential to maintaining normal immune and digestive function. Whether you’re aiming to adopt better sleeping habits or just looking for some extra support, supplements can be a great way to promote restful sleep. Several studies have shown that both short and long sleep durations are associated with negative health outcomes. It’s hard to feel balanced and grounded sometimes, especially when restless and worrying thoughts cut into your downtime. Sometimes you just need to free yourself from life’s to-do lists and hit the brakes on your ruminating mind.

According to the American Institute of Stress, 77% of people regularly experience physical symptoms caused by stress (e.g., fatigue, headache, muscle tension); 76% regularly experience psychological symptoms caused by stress (e.g., irritability, lack of energy, feeling nervous); and 48% reported lying awake at night due to stress. Also of note, the top causes of stress are job pressure, money, health, relationships, poor nutrition, media overload and sleep deprivation.

Stress affects everyone, which can cause undesirable physical and emotional effects. Stress can rob you of achieving hormone balance, and in many cases the effects of stress can lead to an overall diminished sense of well-being. Many people can benefit from slowing down life a little.

The neurotransmitter serotonin is considered a natural mood stabilizer and also helps with sleeping, eating and digesting. Even the mildest of stressors can influence the production and adequacy of serotonin. The precursor to serotonin creation is the essential amino acid tryptophan, which is found in beef, poultry and fish, as well as nuts, seeds and legumes. The process of “creating” serotonin from tryptophan cannot happen without essential vitamins and nutrients. Two of the major players in this process are vitamin B6 and iron.*
