Sleep Better

(Please read our disclaimer)
Did you grow up hearing your grandparents or parents say, “I’ll sleep on it, then make a decision”? Ever wonder why?
Sleep Depravation

According to several studies, sleep and decision-making do go hand in hand. Not getting enough sleep (sleep depravation) affects decision-making involving “unexpected innovation, revising plans, competing distraction, and effective communication.” You’re probably asking, So what does this actually mean and how does that affect me?

Basically not getting enough uninterrupted sleep on a consistent basis poses difficulties for decision makers (parents, managers, military personnel, etc.) during emergency situations. For most decision makers, emergency situations can happen daily. Thus getting enough good sleep is very important.

So what’s good sleep?

Sleep needs vary from person to person, but according to the Department of Health and Human Services most adults need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, babies need 16 to 18 hours a day, children need 11 to 12 hours a day, and teens need at least 10 hours a night.

The Sleep Foundation states that sleep quality is more important than quantity. Some characteristics of quality sleep are:

You fall asleep after getting in bed, within 30 minutes or less

You typically sleep straight through the night

You’re able to sleep the recommended amount of hours for your age group

You fall back asleep within 20 minutes if you do wake up

You feel rested upon waking in the morning

What if I can’t get to sleep?

The Melaleuca Wellness Guide states, “Getting enough sleep is something that may be hard to do with busy schedules. Research through Mental Health America states that not getting enough proper sleep can contribute to a myriad of problems such as depression, risk of heart disease, impaired memory, weight gain, and reduced immune system functioning. RestEz taken thirty minutes before going to bed can help with relaxing and sleeping more soundly without being habit forming.”

RestEZ is powered by natural ingredients, which work synergistically within your body— Melatonin, Ashwagandha, L-Theanine, and Valerian Root.

The hormone melatonin plays a role in your sleep cycle, but daily stress can deplete this much-needed hormone. Various studies concerning sleep and melatonin suggest that supplementation may help increase total sleep time with those suffering from sleep problems. Ashwagandha root extract contains properties that promote sleep for those who have insomnia and anxiety. A study done in 2019 involving individuals from the ages of 18 to 60 showed significant increase in total sleep time and feel of restfulness the next day. L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves that promotes relaxation. Valerian Root has been widely used for inducing sleep and improving sleep quality.

These four ingredients by themselves help promote quality sleep, but together you can be assured that your body will get the much-needed rest and sleep quality it needs to stay healthy.

Essential oils have been used for centuries as an aid to promote falling asleep. Researchers found that lavender aromatherapy increased deep sleep in men and women, and they felt more energized the next morning. Marjoram and Sandalwood oil are two other essential oils that have been used in aromatherapy as a sleeping aid.

The Melaleuca Wellness Guide also states drinking a warm cup of Melaleuca Herbal Tea prior to bedtime, along with taking the Peak Performance Nutrition Pack and a balanced diet and regular exercise helps promote better sleep.

So as John Steinbeck said, “It is a common experience that a problem at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.” Sleep on it and wake up with the ability to make good decisions.

Better Sleep Success Stories

Rest EZ is the best supplement that works for me to fall asleep and stay asleep! Normally I toss and turn for hours and have the hardest time falling asleep. But after taking Rest EZ, I have no problem falling asleep and staying asleep. I can even wake up in the middle of the night to pee and still have no problem falling back asleep! The next morning I feel bright eyed and bushy tailed! I don’t feel tired or groggy like I did when I took prescription medication! My friends that also suffer from insomnia are happy and pleased with Rest EZ!

For years, I’ve had periodic trouble falling asleep at night. There doesn’t seem to be a specific reason, or pattern. I also have periodic evenings when my legs feel uncomfortable and I can’t get comfortable in my “easy chair” relaxing before bed. On those nights, I take a RestEZ an hour before bed time and without fail, when I go to bed I know I will fall asleep. In fact, sometimes I don’t even make it through our nightly ritual of listening to an old-time radio mystery.

I just want to say that using the Rest EZ has helped my sleep tremendously!! There are many nights when either I can't go to sleep or wake up at 2AM and stay awake. After trying Rest EZ, I was able to sleep soundly and feel very refreshed when I woke up. I was very skeptical at first taking it because I am very sensitive to medicine that will make you drowsy. I was afraid that I would be groggy the next day but I wasn't!! Thank you for a great nights sleep!!!

I've been struggling with getting a decent night's sleep for years. I've tried lots of remedies. Some would seem to work, but not consistently... Kiwi fruit-- pistachios-- sleep tea, to name a few. When Melaleuca came out with the new formula for Rest-EZ I was anxious to give it a try. It really WORKS! Yayyyyyy!!! Even if I get up to use the bathroom, I'm able to get right back to sleep. What a relief! The dread of another sleepless night is in the past. Thank you Melaleuca for working hard to come up with another natural solution! So grateful,
