Magnesium for Sleep

Getting a good night's sleep is crucial for overall well-being and has numerous benefits for your physical health, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

Magnesium is a great natural option to help you achieve a deep and restorative sleep. Topical magnesium (applied to your body as opposed to taking magnesium tablets) is a gentle, fast and effective way of boosting magnesium levels before bed.

We suggest massaging Lavender Magnesium Body Butter or Lavender Magnesium Oil into the soles of your feet before bed.

Benefits of a good night's sleep

There’s an old saying ‘sleep is nature’s gentle nurse’, which rings very true. Here are some of the key benefits of consistently getting adequate, high-quality sleep:

1. Improved cognitive function: Sleep plays a vital role with concentration, attention, problem-solving, creativity, and decision-making which will probably lead to increased productivity. Your boss will love you!
2. Enhanced mood and emotional well-being: Sufficient sleep is essential for maintaining a positive mood. Lack of sleep on the other hand, can lead to irritability, mood swings, and a higher risk of developing mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. It's no wonder sleep is such a crucial thing to get right.
3. Boosted immune system: During sleep, your body repairs and rejuvenates itself, including the immune system. Healthy sleep patterns can strengthen your immune system, making you less susceptible to illnesses like the common cold, flu, and other infections.
4. Increased productivity and efficiency: When you're well-rested, your focus and concentration improve, allowing you to think more clearly and make better decisions. Adequate sleep allows you to perform tasks with greater efficiency. Your boss will love you for it!
5. Physical health benefits: Quality sleep is crucial for maintaining physical health. It helps regulate hormones involved in appetite control, which can aid in weight management and reduce the risk of obesity. Sufficient sleep also promotes cardiovascular health, lowers the risk of developing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and supports overall longevity. Clearly a game changer.
6. Enhanced athletic performance: Athletes, in particular, benefit from adequate sleep as it aids in muscle recovery, repair, and growth. Sleep deprivation can negatively impact athletic performance, coordination, reaction time, and decision-making abilities.
7. Reduced stress levels: A good night's sleep helps lower stress levels and promotes relaxation. It allows your body and mind to recharge, helping you cope better with daily challenges.
8. Better creativity and problem-solving: Sleep has been linked to improved creativity and problem-solving abilities. Who knew! During the sleep cycle, your brain processes information, makes connections, and strengthens neural pathways, which can lead to enhanced creative thinking and innovative problem-solving skills.

To enjoy these benefits establish a regular sleep routine by creating a comfortable sleep area, limit exposure to electronics directly before sleep, and apply topical magnesium to your body to help you relax.
