Best Supplements to Beat Insomnia

Just about everyone has experienced a night or two of restless sleep, and so you know how awful it can be to be so tired yet unable to shut down and fall asleep – literally the worst!  Insomnia is extremely common and is usually a symptom of stress, anxiety, worry, jet lag, or all of the above. Lifestyle factors are the best for treating insomnia, which include exercising daily and managing stress, but when lifestyle factors are not helping, sometimes an over the counter supplement can be very helpful. As with any new medication or supplement, always consult with your primary care provider first before trying anything new, and definitely no new supplements if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
