Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the body's sleep-wake cycle. A lack of melatonin can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle and lead to difficulty falling and staying asleep.
How we tackle it
Melatonin
Melatonin works by interacting with receptors in the brain that are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. Specifically, it binds to receptors in the brain that are involved in promoting sleep and promotes a more restful sleep.
Trouble relaxing can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. This can lead to an overall poor quality of sleep and result in feelings of fatigue and difficulty functioning during the day.

Anxiety from your day can cause racing thoughts, physical tension, and an overall feeling of unease, making it difficult to relax and fall asleep. It can also lead to frequent awakenings, resulting in poor quality of sleep.
How we tackle it
Magnesium
