 (ARA) - Are you getting enough sleep? If you have a hard time waking up in the morning and tend to yawn throughout the day, probably not. According to the National Sleep Foundation, most adults need 7-to-9 hours of sleep a night, yet a recent survey conducted by the CDC finds the percentage of adults who, on average, report sleeping six hours or less increased from 1985 to 2006.
Among the most reasons cited for sleep loss: busy schedules or shift work; irregular sleep schedules; and lifestyle factors such as heavy family demands, late-night television watching and Internet use, or the use of caffeine and alcohol, according to a 2006 Institute of Medicine report.
If you're one of the 50 to 70 million people in this country who don't get enough sleep, not only are you fatigued, you're putting yourself in danger of a host of health problems including obesity, depression, and certain risk behaviors, such as cigarette smoking, physical inactivity and heavy drinking.
So what can you do to change the tide before the problem becomes so bad you require medical intervention?
* Try setting a regular sleep schedule and sticking to it no matter what.
* Avoid caffeine or other stimulants before bed.
* Drink a glass of Retalex PM before you want to go to sleep. Unlike most common sleep aids -- pills that leave you tired and groggy the next morning and supplements that can be hard to swallow and even more difficult to fully digest -- Restalex-PM is an all-natural drink solution that will be absorbed by the body quickly.
Each wafer contains 20 hand-selected ingredients designed to work together to not only get you to sleep quickly, but to keep you in the deepest REM stages of sleep longer throughout the night. It is the supplement's time-release nature that makes this possible.
The main ingredient is valerian, which helps with relief of temporary mild nervous tension and/or difficulty falling asleep. In testing, valerian seems to reduce the time to sleep onset (gets you to sleep faster), and improves subjective sleep quality. Other notable ingredients include passionflower which has sedative and anxiolytic effects, and lemon balm extract which is approved for conditions of unrest and difficulty in falling asleep due to nervousness. When taken in combination, these three ingredients have clinically demonstrated improvements in sleep quality.
To use, simply drop one of the effervescent wafers in a glass of water and let fully dissolve, then drink the resulting lemony-tasting solution.
