Your body regenerates during sleep. Every good thing happens to you during sleep. Sleep is essential to EVERY process in your body. It touches every aspect of your health:

1. Impaired Cognitive Function: Sleep deprivation impairs various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, decision-making, and problem-solving. This can lead to decreased productivity and increased risk of accidents.
2. Mood Disturbances: Lack of sleep is closely linked to mood disorders such as irritability, mood swings, and increased susceptibility to stress. It can also contribute to the development of anxiety and depression.
3. Increased Risk of Chronic Health Conditions: Chronic sleep deprivation is associated with a higher risk of developing serious health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension (high blood pressure).
4. Weakened Immune System: Sleep is crucial for a healthy immune system. Sleep deprivation can weaken your body’s ability to fend off infections, making you more susceptible to illnesses.
5. Hormonal Imbalance: Sleep deprivation disrupts the balance of hormones in the body, including those that regulate hunger and appetite (leptin and ghrelin). This can lead to increased food cravings and weight gain.
6. Decreased Physical Performance: Athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities may experience reduced endurance, strength, and coordination due to sleep deprivation.
7. Increased Risk of Accidents: Sleep-deprived individuals are more prone to accidents, whether they occur while driving, operating machinery, or performing everyday tasks.
8. Memory Problems: The consolidation of memories largely occurs during sleep. Lack of sleep can impair memory formation and the ability to retain information.
9. Hallucinations and Paranoia: In extreme cases of sleep deprivation, individuals may experience hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions.
10. Reduced Libido: Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to a decreased sex drive and fertility issues in both men and women.
11. Microsleeps: In severe sleep deprivation, the brain can enter brief episodes of microsleep, where you momentarily lose consciousness. This can be especially dangerous during activities that require vigilance, like driving.
12. Aging of Skin: Poor sleep can accelerate the aging process and result in skin issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes.
13. Increased Inflammation: Sleep deprivation can lead to chronic inflammation, which is associated with various health problems, including autoimmune diseases and cancer.
14. Impaired Social and Interpersonal Relationships: Sleep-deprived individuals may struggle to engage in social interactions, empathize with others, or maintain healthy relationships due to mood disturbances and irritability.
15. Reduced Quality of Life: Ultimately, chronic sleep deprivation can significantly diminish one’s overall quality of life, affecting physical health, mental well-being, and daily functioning.

Sleep Problem Stats

1. Menopause often comes with various uncomfortable symptoms, and sleep disturbances are a significant concern among menopausal women.
   • According to the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), approximately 61% of menopausal women experience sleep disturbances like insomnia and night sweats.
   • Reduced estrogen levels during menopause can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to frequent awakenings during the night and difficulty falling back asleep.
2. Shift Work Sleep Disorder The modern workforce often involves irregular working hours, leading to a condition known as Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD).
   • The National Sleep Foundation reports that up to 10% of workers suffer from SWSD.
   • SWSD can result in chronic sleep deprivation, leading to decreased alertness, productivity, and overall health.
3. Jet Lag’s Global Impact Frequent travelers and those who work across multiple time zones often struggle with jet lag, which can disrupt their sleep-wake cycle.
   • The International Journal of General Medicine estimates that millions of people experience jet lag each year.
   • Jet lag can lead to sleepiness during the day and difficulty sleeping at night, affecting both physical and mental well-being.

A natural remedy that promotes a restful sleep and overall well-being. A solution that can actually reset your sleep cycle when you get in those modes of sleepless nights, shift changes and travel dilemmas.

Sleep Drops checked all these boxes, including sleep reset, so that you can ease back into a healthy sleep routine as easily as you slipped out of it.

Sleep Drop Ingredients:

1. Magnesium:

• It’s a muscle relaxant. Contains a natural brain sedative. Regulates insulin and blood sugars. Increases sleep efficiency. Treatment of depression.  Studies suggest that 2/3 of the world’s population are magnesium deficient, for a variety of reasons. Including alcohol consumption, aging, gut issues and improper nutrition to name a few.

2. Chamomile:

• Chamomile is a well-known herb with calming and soothing properties. It has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for anxiety and insomnia. Chamomile contains antioxidants and compounds that bind to certain receptors in the brain, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety, which can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with racing thoughts before bedtime.

3. Passionflower:

• Passionflower is another herb known for its anxiety-reducing effects. It is believed to increase levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity, inducing a sense of calm and tranquility. By incorporating passionflower into the formula, Monat Sleep Drops can help individuals relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep.

4. Sour Cherry Extract:

• Sour cherries are a natural source of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin is often used as a supplement to help people fall asleep more easily. Consuming sour cherry juice or eating sour cherries may boost melatonin levels in the body, promoting better sleep.

5. Melatonin:

• Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pineal gland in the brain, which plays a pivotal role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It’s often referred to as the “sleep hormone” because it helps signal to the body when it’s time to sleep and when to wake up. In Monat Sleep Drops, melatonin is included to supplement the body’s natural melatonin production, assisting in the initiation of sleep.

A holistic approach to sleep support that works. These ingredients work together to help regulate sleep patterns, reduce anxiety, and create a calming environment conducive to restful sleep. As always, individuals with specific health concerns or allergies should consult with a healthcare professional before using any sleep supplement to ensure it is safe and suitable for their needs.
