, 35% of all adults in the U.S. report sleeping for less than the recommended seven hours per night, on average.
Evenings can play a huge role in the quality of sleep you get. Your brain produces more melatonin, the sleep hormone, at night as it prepares itself to go to sleep. As it gets dark outside your brain knows to make more of this hormone. So, dimming lights andcan help. Try turning down lights after dinner and turning off electronics at least 30 minutes prior to going to bed. Studies show that blue light negatively effects our sleep by disrupting our circadian rhythm.
Tea such as green, black and white, all come from the leaves of the same plant and all naturally contain caffeine. Herbal tea isn’t technically tea since it isn’t made from this plant. Instead, herbal teas are made from the roots, seeds, flowers and fruits of other plants and are naturally caffeine-free. So, don’t worry that these teas will keep you buzzing all night long.
Apigenin is an antioxidant compound found in chamomile that affects the central nervous system. It’s believed that apigenin binds to receptors in the brain that may decrease anxiety and induce sleep.
