SLEEP GUMMIES

Yes, certainly! Once you remove the label, the Yummygums jars are recyclable. The transparent jars are made from rPET. An rPET jar is made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). That may sound complex, but it essentially means it's composed of previously used PET plastic. This makes our new jars 100% recycled and recyclable! Very environmentally responsible

On average, adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. The need for sleep usually depends on age. Younger individuals generally need more deep sleep than older people. For example, teenagers typically need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night, while those aged 65 and older often sleep less than 8 hours per night. The exact amount of sleep you need is influenced by various factors, including age and daily activities.

Your sleep cycle consists of four stages: falling asleep, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. The third stage, deep sleep, is where the body undergoes restoration. During a night of 8 hours of sleep, deep sleep usually lasts 1 to 2 hours.

If you can't sleep, it's important to figure out why and take steps to improve your sleep next time. The Yummygums team provides tips!

Exercise during the day:
Take a short walk or engage in another form of physical activity during the day. This can help reduce stress and prepare your body for rest.

Avoid caffeine:
Limit your intake of caffeinated beverages, especially in the late afternoon and evening, as caffeine can disrupt your sleep.

Limit evening light exposure:
Minimize exposure to bright light from electronic devices such as smartphones and laptops in the evening, as this can disrupt your natural sleep cycle.

Take time to relax:
Take time in the evening to relax and prepare your mind for rest. This can range from reading to meditation or taking a soothing bath.

Maintain a regular sleep schedule:
Try to wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, to help your body develop a consistent sleep-wake cycle.

Consider supportive supplements:
Some supplements, such as Yummygums Sleep, containing plant extracts like Passionflower, can help promote restful sleep and waking up refreshed*.

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced in the body by the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating the body's sleep-wake cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. Melatonin is released when it becomes dark and this signal helps the body prepare for sleep. Levels of melatonin in the body typically rise in the evening as it gets dark, reaching their highest point in the middle of the night. In the morning, as it becomes light, melatonin levels decrease, signaling the body to wake up. As a supplement, melatonin is sometimes used to treat sleep problems such as insomnia or jet lag.

You should take melatonin before you go to bed. It is recommended to take it approximately 1 hour beforehand. Only take melatonin when you are at home, as driving afterwards is not recommended.
