A Harvard- & Yale-Trained Doctor Shares How To Make Your Eyes Feel Heavy Before Bed

If you also find it difficult to drift off, check out Long's sleepy-time tip in our new video series, Expert Insights. Here, she explains how to make your eyes feel heavy before bed. 

To get your sleep schedule back on track and maintain a healthy circadian rhythm, experts recommend implementing consistent bedtime routines, getting bright natural light in the morning, and (as much as it pains me to write this) setting an alarm on the weekends. That doesn't mean you must wake up at the crack of dawn every Saturday, but sleep experts suggest ​​shifting your sleep schedule to one and a half hours max.

"Something I've tried that has really worked for me is sleep support+ from mbg," Bock shares (and she's not the only one; see here for other glowing reviews). Our pioneering formula contains a powerful blend of magnesium bisglycinate, jujube, and PharmaGABA® that supports a healthy circadian rhythm, helps you fall asleep faster, and enhances overall sleep quality.* Bock takes it about 30 minutes to an hour before going to bed, and it helps her sleep soundly throughout the night.* 

Lying in bed and forcing yourself to feel sleepy never works—instead, try Long's tips to help naturally prepare your body for sleep. And if you do need that final nudge, that's where sleep supplements come in handy.*
