The Benefits Of Adding Gummies For Sleep To Your Nighttime Routine

Winding down at the end of a long day can be a struggle, especially when the mind is buzzing with everything still on your to-do list. With busy schedules and daily stressors, achieving quality sleep isn’t always easy.

While good sleep hygiene and a relaxing nighttime routine are essential for preparing your body and mind for rest, adding a sleep gummy to your evening could be the support you need to sleep. Formulated with ingredients like passionflower (which helps relieve sleeplessness), sleep gummies offer a simple and effective way to help soothe the nerves and support your nightly wind down.

Read on to learn more about the common ingredients that relieve sleeplessness and how they work.

What are common remedies to help with sleep?

When it comes to capturing those all-important z’s, several natural remedies are believed to help relieve sleeplessness, including: 

• Lavender: As an anxiolytic, lavender is well-known for its calming and sedative effects, helping to reduce anxiety and improve sleep¹. With evidence to suggest a bidirectional relationship between smell and sleep, it’s believed that certain fragrances, like lavender, could promote better sleep². 
• Passionflower: Passionflower is a plant offering a natural calming effect that can aid sleep, particularly for those experiencing stress or insomnia³. By modulating gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain, passionflower helps to reduce nervous system activity and promote a sense of calmness³. 
• Magnesium: Magnesium is an important mineral that plays a key role in the production of sleep-related neurotransmitters, muscle relaxation and nervous system regulation⁴. Oral magnesium supplements can help treat insomnia and promote better sleep^4,5. 
• Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb known for its ability to reduce stress and improve overall sleep quality⁶. Like passionflower, ashwagandha also supports GABA activity, promoting relaxation⁶.

While different products have different formulas, when it comes to Swisse Ultiboost Calm + Sleep Gummies, we use passionflower to help relieve sleeplessness and soothe the nerves.
