Deep Sleep Solutions: My Personal Arsenal for Deep, Restorative Slumber
=========================================================
In a recent discussion, wellness expert Gina shared her go-to products for a healthy sleep stack. According to Gina, good quality sleep is crucial for maintaining a balanced mood, avoiding cravings, ensuring sluggish workouts don't become the norm, and preventing hormone imbalances and gut issues.
Gina recommends a 30-60 minute wind down period before bed, during which she suggests applying a castor oil pack while reading or journaling. This practice, she explains, supports detoxification and calms the nervous system, promoting circulation, liver detoxification, and stimulating the vagus nerve.
During this wind-down period, Gina also recommends putting on blue light blocking glasses and using magnesium spray. She prefers full-spectrum magnesium for its calming and well-absorbed properties, which help calm the body and mind. Gina also mentions using a low-dose melatonin supplement to support her circadian rhythm, especially during travel or after a night of poor sleep. However, she advises using low-dose melatonin only when needed.
While the exact supplements in Gina’s stack aren't specified, the sleep capsules from Papasupps appear to be a core element. These capsules help with sleep onset, duration, and quality, with dosage per the bottle label; half doses may be used effectively.
Other supplements like Lion’s Mane support cognitive and nervous system health but not directly sleep, with no specific dosages noted. NAC is also mentioned as a health supplement with benefits for general wellness, but no direct sleep benefits or dosage recommendations related to sleep are described.
Gina also emphasises the importance of good sleep habits combined with supplementation for enhanced results. She states that what you do in the morning and during the day will impact your sleep quality. For instance, minimising screen use, taking evening showers, and practising meditation can all contribute to better sleep.
To help readers uncover what might be holding their sleep back, Gina offers to create a personalised plan by emailing her at gina@our website with the subject line TESTING. She also mentions that it's important to talk with a doctor before making any changes to health or wellness routines.
Lastly, Gina recommends Adrenal Soothe from EquiLife, a blend of targeted adaptogens that can help reduce nighttime cortisol levels, leading to deeper rest and more consistent energy during the day. Sleep, she says, is one of her favourite topics.
