the importance of sleep?
the importance of sleep?
beauty sleep
it’s a real thing. your skin uses sleep hours to heal itself from the day's damage so when you drift off, your skin gets the chance to repair. try to get 7-9 hours sleep each night for the brightest glow.
healthy metabolism
Sleep and metabolism are controlled by the same sectors of the brain. When you’re exhausted, hormones are boosted in your blood which drive your appetite and block feelings of satiety.
mental stamina
When we get a good night’s sleep, we are more alert and clear-headed. Things like learning, problem-solving and decision making are easier. we’re also better able to control our emotions and behavior.

we sifted through the articles so you don’t have to. follow these 8 tips to get the
best sleep of your life.
Set a Consistent Schedule
It is important to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (even on weekends!). Consistency helps regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Most adults from age 18-65 need about 7-9 hours of restful sleep.
Create a Bedtime Ritual
Engage in calming activities before bed to signal to your body that it's time to wind down. This could include reading, using essential oils, or listening to soothing music. It can also be helpful to create a bedtime routine and follow nightly.
limit screen time
research shows that putting away your screens at least one hour before bed can improve sleep quality. The blue light emitted by screens can interfere with the production of the sleep hormone melatonin and makes it more difficult to fall asleep and even to wake up the next day.
mind your environment
make your bedroom conducive to sleep by keeping it dark, quiet, and cool. to level up, consider investing in blackout curtains, earplugs, and a white noise machine to block out disruptions and get maximum zzzz’s.
you are what you eat
(and drink)
(and drink)
avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol use up to 5 hours before bedtime. opt for lighter snacks and herbal teas instead. chamomile tea can help to calm the mind and prepare the body for sleep.
let’s get physical
engage in regular physical activity during the day can promote better sleep at night, but try to avoid vigorous exercise too close to bedtime. give your body a chance to wind down after and return to a relaxed state a few hours before bedtime.
limit naps
if you’re napping in the day but struggling to fall asleep at night, try to limit naps to 20-30 minutes. napping for too long can interfere with your ability to fall asleep at night.
stress less (simple right?)
practice stress-reducing techniques such as mindfulness, journaling, or yoga to help calm your mind before bed. Chronic stress can disrupt sleep, so finding healthy ways to manage stress can improve your sleep quality.
we know about the importance of sleep, but how do i get there? let’s explore the science of
deep sleep.

melatonin.
read that again. alice doesn’t believe in using melatonin, so what exactly is nightcap
made out of? and how does it work?
melatonin is a
hormone that your brain's pineal gland naturally creates each evening to signal to your body that bedtime is approaching. it is responsible for managing your natural sleep and wake cycles, known as your
circadian rhythm.
why we don’t use melatonin:
morning grogginess
taking melatonin often results in feelings of grogginess or a hangover the next morning as a result of pumping your system with too much melatonin.
bandaid solution
melatonin addresses sleep issues at the symptom level. by artificially dumping melatonin into the system, it removes the need for the body to address the actual cause of sleeplessness.
create it naturally
your body should create melatonin naturally. zinc and magnesium (both in nightcap) are shown to increase the body's levels of naturally circulating melatonin to regulate your circadian rhythm from within.
calm your mind
sleep issues are commonly rooted in stress. nightcap includes l-theanine (otherwise known as nature’s x*nax) and chamomile to help calm the mind and create space for rest.
wake up refreshed
no grogginess, ever. each ingredient in nightcap was specifically chosen for its ability to improve sleep without a morning hangover effect.
improve sleep cycles
reishi mushroom is heralded for its ability to down regulate the nervous system, manage stress, and promote healthy sleep cycles in the long term. sleep well tonight, and even better tomorrow..
