Details on Good Mood Sleep PM (Formerly Melatonin plus 5-HTP & Rhodiola)
The Insomnia Epidemic
Attaining restful and sustained sleep is fundamental to health and well-being, contributing significantly to our quality of life. Insomnia, the most commonly reported sleep problem, is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, maintaining sleep, or by short sleep duration despite adequate time for a full night’s sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation not only affects daily performance but also has deleterious health consequences. Stress, anxiety, and chronic worry are psycho-physiological causes that often contribute to insomnia.[1]
The Perfect Combination of Ingredients
Good Mood Sleep PM is designed to address the biochemical and neurological causes of sleep disturbance. It combines targeted ingredients to help correct the biochemistry that promotes sleep disruption.
Sleep Issue #1: "I can't fall asleep!"
Good Mood Sleep PM delivers melatonin to help you drift off to sleep and establish a healthy sleep cycle without feeling groggy in the morning. Melatonin regulates the body's internal clock, induces sleep, and regulates circadian rhythms.[3,4]
Sleep Issue #2: "Racing thoughts keep me awake all night!"
This formula incorporates L-Theanine and Rhodiola to combat the stimulating effects of stress and promote a calm and relaxed mental state. L-Theanine promotes alpha brain waves, associated with a calm and focused mental state. Rhodiola is an adaptogenic botanical that increases the body's resistance to stress and promotes relaxation.[5,7,8]
Sleep Issue #3: "I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot fall back asleep!"
Good Mood Sleep PM includes a combination of relaxing and sleep-promoting botanicals such as Ashwagandha, Passionflower, Lemon Balm, and Chamomile, along with Magnesium and 5-HTP. 5-HTP is an intermediate in the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter implicated in sleep regulation.[11]
Summary
Good Mood Sleep PM is an advanced sleep formula designed to address multiple obstacles that hinder a good night's rest. It combines melatonin, L-Theanine, Rhodiola, and other botanical ingredients to promote sleep onset, reduce stress, and establish a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
