poor night’s sleep can affect the human body’s ability to function at an optimal level the next day. Most people have experienced a poor night’s sleep at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, chronic sleep issues are also quite common; in fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has estimated that as many as 30 percent of US adults have reported experiencing chronic sleep issues that affect their long-term ability to both fall and stay asleep. While a poor night’s sleep can affect the body’s ability to function the next day at an optimal level, chronic sleep issues often lead to a wide range of symptoms and health conditions that can have a massive impact on whole body health. Fortunately, the nutraceutical industry has developed a wealth of products that have the potential to naturally address sleep loss and support healthy sleep cycles.

Fatigue and lapses in both concentration and memory are often the two most noticeable effects of a poor night’s sleep. To make matters worse, sleep loss and its immediate effects can compound on one another and force the body into a negative feedback loop. If sleep loss is not properly addressed, it can lead to insomnia and other chronic sleep issues. Chronic sleep loss can then lead to a wide range of symptoms and more serious health conditions that include:

• Depressed mood and increased risk of depression
• Reduced immune function
• Reduced sex drive
• Difficulties with focus and memory
• Fatigue
• Increased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and other aspects of cardiovascular disease
