Better Sleep

3 products

Good sleep is not measured in hours alone. What matters is how quickly you fall asleep, how often you wake in the night, and how you feel in the morning. The routine before bed often matters more than anything else: screen light, afternoon caffeine and an irregular schedule are the three that come up most. Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. Melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep — a recognised effect when it is taken close to bedtime. Herbs such as lime flower and valerian have long been part of evening routines. The products listed here are associated with this goal. Dosage and timing are on the label and on each product page. If sleep problems last for weeks, it is worth raising with a doctor. Where to start: keep the same wake time seven days a week for a fortnight and see what changes — it is the single intervention with the largest effect. After that, if you want a tailored starting point, the BioHack generator builds an evening protocol with the timing for each item.
