Do you find yourself waking up exhausted, even if you got enough sleep?

If so, there’s a high chance the quality of your sleep isn’t quite where it should be and in particular, deep sleep.

Here are 3 ways to increase your deep sleep.

1. Go to bed at the same time every night. Our circadian rhythms work like clockwork (literally). By going to bed at the same time every night, you’re not missing the opportunity for your hormones and neurotransmitters to put you into that sweet, deep sleep.

2. Don’t eat too close to bed time. If our digestive systems are working too hard, this makes it difficult to get into deep sleep.

3. Manage stress levels. Meditation and other relaxation techniques can help us get slip into a deeper sleep.

Why do we use Taurine in our product Better Sleep?

As a strong activator of our GABA receptors, taurine plays an important part in activating our rest and digest nervous system.

This is imperative in allowing us to not only fall asleep quickly, but also get deep restorative sleep.

If you’ve ever woken up not feeling refreshed, or muscles not recovering adequately, it’s a high likelihood you’re not getting enough deep sleep.

Do you wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready to crush the day? Or do you hit snooze 5 times, and need a coffee before you talk to anyone.

Do you have energy throughout the day? Or are you hitting the dreaded 3pm wall.

Do you sleep all the way through the night? Or are you tossing and turning from 2am.

These can all be tell tale signs that your sleep isn’t quite where it should be.

If you’re someone who performs at a high level and are showing any of these signs, it’s a guarantee that you’re leaving gains on the floor.

Acetyl-l-carnitine helps with healthy brain function, energy, and immune health. Each essential for helping sleep more extended hours and wake up feeling well rested.

Testosterone plays a huge role in both males and females (yes, females too) physical performance and motivation.

But did you know that just one bad nights sleep can decrease our testosterone levels? (Dramatically, too).

If you want to continually perform and function at your peak, do not reach for testosterone boosters that simply don’t work.

Instead, just optimise your sleep.

The easiest place to start is by setting a consistent sleep schedule, and get plenty of sunlight throughout the day.

Do this, and your hormone levels will thank you.

Why do we use L-Theanine in our products?

There is nothing worse for our sleep than going to be with a racing mind!

L-Theanine combats this directly as it is an amino acid that not only promotes relaxation, but also crosses the blood brain barrier exerting its relaxation effects directly on the brain, which is why it is so good for our mental state, lowering anxiety, and ultimately our sleep.

High performance and sleep go hand in hand, here’s why.

A lack of sleep has been shown to compromise your physical exhaustion by 15-30%.
On top of that, we know that if we’re not getting adequate sleep, we’re more likely to build up lactic acid in our muscles faster, and sweat less.
Not to mention our increased risk of injury when sleeping poorly.

All a recipe for a terrible days training.

If you want to perform at your peak (and stay injury free), always ensure to keep sleep at the very top of your priority list.

Are you a morning or an evening person?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Genetically, we generally fall into one of these two categories, and knowing which category you fall into can help ensure you get the best sleep possible!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re morning person, generally speaking you’re going to have an easier time ensuring you get a good nights sleep as you’re more in sync with the cadence of the sun.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re an evening person, going to bed late and waking up late makes things a little more tricky.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what we suggest;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Ensure your room is as dark as possible. You’re going to be trying to sleep while the sun is up in the morning, so utilising blackout curtains will really help.
- Have a really solid wind down routine to ensure your brain and body knows when it’s time to start releasing Melatonin.
- Mimic the sun going down with the lights in your house. Ensure they are dim in the final hours before you go to sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Utilising these tips in conjunction with our product Better Sleep is the best way to ensure you get a great nights sleep, even if you are an evening person.
