Our Two Favorite Products To Help Calm A Racing Mind Before Bed

Sometimes you simply can't fall asleep—no matter how cozy your bed might be. Catching top-notch ZZZs requires you to be both physically and mentally relaxed, a combination best achieved by taking mindbodygreen’s sleep support+ before a session with the HigherDose PEMF mat.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a gentle and bioavailable form of the mineral that can help induce muscle relaxation and ease stress to help people fall asleep faster.* Research also shows that magnesium can also help you stay asleep longer by alleviating stress of the nervous system.* 

PharmaGABA® works in conjunction with magnesium to help calm an overactive mind and enhance sleep quality.* And jujube (an ancient fruit) adds soothing qualities that help you fall asleep more efficiently.* 

Plus, sleep support+ ingredients are not linked with any unwanted side effects, such as grogginess—unlike hormonal ingredients like melatonin.* And reviewers swear it has helped them get better sleep in a week or less.*

Not only will your complexion thank you for this, but it’s a great physical cue to get your body in the rhythm of winding down around the same time every night—which is important to sleep quality.

After finishing up your skincare, it's time to put your jammies on (if you haven’t done so already), dim the lights in the room, and lay on your HigherDose PEMF mat. 

You may recognize HigherDose from its viral infrared sauna blanket—which lives up to the hype—but the PEMF mat deserves the same spotlight.

When you set up the mat, you'll have the choice of four PEMF settings. Each one is meant to induce a relaxed state, but Level 1 (3hz Delta Brain Wave) is the best option to promote restful sleep.

When paired with infrared heat—which is warm enough to soothe the body without causing you to sweat—the waves become the perfect relaxation tool. Just ask our commerce editor Carleigh Ferrante.

Ferrante purchased the mat more than a year ago (at full price) and watched as it transformed her sleep. Every time Ferrante uses the mat for 30 minutes before bed, she sees major improvement in her deep sleep and heart rate variability.

And that $1,300 price tag? Ferrante thinks it's worth every penny—joining the ranks of New York Times bestselling author Gabby Bernstein and lifestyle blogger Lauren Bosstik.

If there’s one thing experts agree on when it comes to sleeping, it’s the need for a bedtime routine—and this one features two potent science-backed products that can help quiet racing thoughts and relax into a deep long slumber.*
