Top 10 Benefits to a Good Night's Sleep

Balance Your Brain Cycles for Deep Sleep

Deep Rest (Ultimate Brain)
Amazon Price: $39.58 (as of 05/25/2012)
You may know how it feels to have really "good" sleep-the kind of rest that makes you feel energized and refreshed once you awaken. But is there a reliable way to enter into a state of pure relaxation whenever you want? This program brings listeners two proven harmonic tools to quickly and efficiently access a state of tranquil rest. Using the first track, "The 24-Minute Nap," listeners experience a gentle descent from the brain states of the aware mid-alpha, down to low delta, and then back to full, relaxed alertness. The second track, called the "22-Minute Vacation," employs guided imagery and brain-wave entrainment to carry listeners away on a short, invigorating trip to an imaginary sanctuary.

Natural Sleep Aids
Tryptothan in turkey and now in capsules!
Source Naturals L-Tryptophan 500mg, 120 Capsules
Amazon Price: $16.99 (as of 05/25/2012)
The essential amino acid L-Tryptophan helps support relaxation, restful sleep, and feeling better. It plays a part in the synthesis of both melatonin and serotonin, hormones involved with mood and stress response. L-Tryptophan also supports immune functions because it is the body's precursor to the kynurenines that regulate immunity. If needed, L-Tryptophan converts to niacin in the body, which supports circulation, a healthy nervous system, the metabolism of food, and the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system.
