Not all people have the same sleep needs. We’re all different and our needs could be a result of our age, health, genetics or other factor. Typically, most of us need between 6 to 9 hours of sleep every night to feel well rested and alert the next day. If you wake up feeling groggy or drowsy in the morning, you’re probably not getting enough sleep.

It can take between 10-20 minutes for most people to fall asleep on a normal night. If you’re having trouble falling asleep and find yourself lying in bed waiting for it to come, you may just need to do something relaxing, like read a book, until you feel sleepy. Avoid becoming anxious about your sleeplessness and being in bed “just waiting” it may only be temporary. If you notice that falling asleep is becoming a consistent problem for you, a sleep aid like REVLEX^® Sleep Time may be just the thing you need.

Most adult shouldn’t need a nap during the day. If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, day napping may be part of your problem. To avoid sleepless nights, focus on having a regular regimen instead of a scattered collection of naps and sleep. A sleep-aid like REVLEX^® Sleep Time will help you sleep at night and not make you drowsy during the day.

Getting a good night sleep by trying to fall asleep earlier may sound like a responsible thing to do but it probably won’t help. Trying to sleep when you’re not tired may actually lead to more difficulty in falling asleep. Your circadian rhythm, the human bodies built in clock, runs on cycle that is pretty close to 24 hours. It’s your circadian rhythm that tells you when it’s time to sleep because you are tired not because you have an early morning tomorrow. To get an earlier night sleep you have to start going to bed a little earlier each night.

To ensure a good sleep, going to bed at the right time and using natural sleep aids like REVLEX^® are the best way to wake up refreshed.

Periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) can be problematic to a good night’s sleep.

If you haven’t been diagnosed, you may want to consult your healthcare provider and take a test. A sleep aid like REVLEX^® Sleep Time can also help to quell restless legs.

Shift-workers can have a very difficult time finding enough hours in the day to sleep. Never mind not having a regular schedule like most others, trying to sleep when it’s light out is just unnatural for most of us. If your shift-work is making it harder to sleep, there are some things you can do. Try to make your room as dark as possible and create as noise free an environment as you can (use earplugs or a white-noise machine. Just like at night, a comfortable temperature makes sleeping easier, as well.

If sleep is still a problem, a sleep-aid like REVLEX^® Sleep Time will help you enjoy a restful sleep and wake up refreshed.

Having trouble falling to sleep isn’t unusual from time to time. A sleep aid like REVLEX^® Sleep Time can help with the occasional sleepless nights. If sleeplessness is more common, lasting for weeks or longer, a sleep aid may help but it won’t solve the underlying cause of your sleepless nights. To ensure that you’re not experiencing the symptoms of a medical condition, it is recommended that you consult your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
