Sleep & Brain Recovery
Resetting the Mind
Why it matters:
Sleep is when the brain repairs itself, consolidates memories, and clears toxins. Poor sleep leads to brain fog, irritability, and reduced learning capacity. Supporting natural sleep rhythms helps restore focus and calm.
How it works:
- Melatonin → regulates circadian rhythm and sleep onset.
- Magnesium → relaxes muscles and nerves.
- Glycine → lowers body temperature for deeper sleep.
- L-Tryptophan → precursor to serotonin and melatonin.
- Vitamin B6 → helps convert tryptophan into sleep hormones.
Foods that help:
- Turkey, eggs, nuts → tryptophan
- Leafy greens, legumes → magnesium
- Bananas, fish → B6
- Tart cherries → natural melatonin
Lifestyle tip:
Limit screens before bed — blue light suppresses melatonin.
Helpful for:
- Insomnia
- Restless nights
- Stress-related poor sleep
- Jet lag recovery
