A proper night’s sleep can do wonders for our health. Waking up after a restful night can make all the difference in the world-you will feel refreshed, healthy, and ready to start a new day. For some people getting a good night’s sleep is not as easy as it sounds.

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body in the pineal gland. This gland is approximately pea size and it is located in the brain. Melatonin is produced when our eyes start to sense darkness and regulates our sleep-wake cycle.

You get up early, get dressed, eat breakfast, and start your day. You work, drink coffee, talk with friends, work more, get stressed, eat lunch, make plans and get your mind racing. You finish work, go home, think about work, make dinner, go for a glass of wine, see a show, talk with friends, think about work, get changed, go to bed, stop everything and fall asleep.
