Don't lie awake night after night

DOES IT FEEL LIKE you’re constantly tired – even when you’ve only just been to bed? Do you lie awake at night, trying desperately to drop off, until the sun comes up. You are not alone – lack of sleep (or insomnia) causes misery for 1 in 3 people in the UK.

Controlling your sleep/wake cycle The amino acid L-tryptophan (found naturally in meats, cheeses and some vegetables) is converted during digestion into 5-HTP and used in the manufacture of a neuro-transmitter called serotonin. Serotonin, in turn, is transformed into a sleep hormone called melatonin by the pineal gland in the brain. Low levels of melatonin have been shown to lead to disrupted sleep and insomnia. By controlling your production of melatonin with a natural supplement like Insomnadrene®, you can help to balance your sleep/wake cycle.

Boost your melatonin levels

Insomnadrene™ is a new breakthrough blending Valerian and Melatonin into a uniquely powerful sleep formula. Valerian produces a deep sleep comparable to benzodiazepines (like Valium) – but without addiction. The other active ingredient, Melatonin is a hormone released by the body at night to help the onset of deep sleep. Melatonin decreases as we age, therefore is essential as an added ingredient.

Insomnadrene™’s powerful proprietary blend and ingredients offer an efficient method to promote a better quality of sleep and aids longer and sounder sleep.

Sleep has three main parts:

Quiet sleep. This is divided into stages 1-4. Each stage becomes progressively more deep. Quiet sleep is sometimes called deep sleep.

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. REM sleep is when the brain is very active, but your body is limp, apart from your eyes which move rapidly. Most of your dreams occur during REM sleep.

Short periods of waking. Each night, about 4-5 periods of quiet sleep alternate with 4-5 periods of REM sleep. In addition, several short periods of waking for 1-2 minutes occur about every two hours or so, but these are more frequent towards the end of your night’s sleep.
