Summary:

One third of Americans have trouble sleeping, according to the Mayo Clinic.

If you use melatonin, I recommend not more than 1-2 weeks max (1-3 mg) under the tongue short-term is fine. For kids, I recommend organic tart cherry juice, not from concentrate.

To shut down the brain, my clients have had immense success with  Valerian root or Revitalizing sleep formula. Take 2-3 (depending on how much is on your mind, 45-60 minutes before bed). One to two bottles typically do the trick but you can keep some around for those occasional sleepless nights.

If you consistently wake up between 1-4 am and cannot fall right back asleep, it’s likely a blood sugar response. Make sure you’re getting your 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon daily and watch starch as well as alcohol in the evening. Give dinner three full hours to clear before heading to bed. You can take phosphatidylserine an hour before bedtime, while working to balance blood sugar.

It’s important to cut caffeine afternoon if you don’t sleep well and create a bedtime ritual. We have beauty rituals, workout rituals, Monday night football rituals, holiday rituals….why wouldn’t our sleep, the foundation of great health, be the same?? I recommend no electronics 30-60 minutes before bed. Find another way to relax. Use a few drops of lavender essential oil on your pillow. It is very calming and will help you fall asleep more quickly.

Remember, 1/3 of your friends can’t sleep, so please share this on FaceBook!

  1. I just found read that Dr. Hulda Clark recommends taking L-ornithine for busy minds at bedtime. I looked it up & it’s apparently good for a lot of conditions. I couldn’t find any info with issues such as toxicity or interactions with medicines.

  2. LOVED this video! Thank you for the information. I loved the part about technology before bed. I already read not to partake while IN bed, but learning to shut it down and give your brain time to relax before actually getting into bed is even better. I will definitely take that tip to my pillow! Thanks, Melissa!
