The Supplement Helping Parents Minimize Sleep Disruptions

It's expected that having a newborn will disrupt your sleep, but research shows that the tiredness doesn't let up after your child learns to walk him or herself to bed. In fact, parents report having disrupted sleep patterns for up to six years1 after the birth of a child—with mothers reporting an average loss of one hour a night.

Between constant wake ups, the stress of taking care of a tiny human, and potential hormonal changes, it makes total sense that parents have trouble clocking as much quality sleep as they did pre-baby. And this lack of sleep can have a major impact on our overall mood, productivity, and well-being.

Though it won't quiet a midnight meltdown (if only!), sleep support+ is a supplement designed to help you take full advantage of the sleep windows you do get.

As user Katie L. puts it in her review, "I have had occasional trouble sleeping through the night ever since I had my third child... This is by far the best sleeping aid I have ever used. sleep support+ not only puts me right to sleep, but I stay asleep, and I wake up feeling refreshed."*

She's one of many moms who recommend the melatonin-free sleep supplement to anyone looking to maximize their rest. "This product is giving me much-needed sleep quality after just giving birth a few months ago," notes Tash Y. "I am waking up refreshed, and it has been helping me manage stress and mood!"*

So, what is it about the formula that has parents talking? For starters, it features three powerful ingredients that have been clinically shown to promote sleep and relaxation.*

First, you have magnesium: an essential mineral that an estimated 43% of U.S. adults2 don't get enough of through diet alone, and that tends to decline with age. Some forms of magnesium, like the magnesium bisglycinate you'll find in sleep support+, can help regulate3 our body's circadian rhythm, as well as improve overall sleep quality4 by reducing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep and improving sleep duration.*

From there, we added jujube—a fruit that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for 3,000 years5 to enhance sleep quality.* Recent research backs up this time-tested remedy: In one study on 67 women in Taiwan6, a sleep aid featuring jujube helped reduce sleep disturbance and improve daytime functioning after four weeks.*

You'll notice that melatonin is not included in this formula, and that's intentional. sleep support+ is meant to be taken as a nightly sleep aid, and the research on melatonin does not indicate that it's effective (or even safe) when taken every night. Since melatonin is a hormone, it can also disrupt the body's production of other hormones. Plus, it tends to cause difficulty waking up and grogginess—exactly what you don't want if you need to get up to soothe a temperamental toddler in the middle of the night.
