It’s so tempting and easy to reach for that extra boost of caffeinated oomph, especially when it tastes so good and feels so comforting. In this article, we review a few best practices for caffeine, and offer some alternatives if you’re feeling a bit frazzled and jittery.
Caffeine is ubiquitous and even celebrated in our culture—from the usual coffee and tea, to soda and energy drinks like Red Bull—but it does not come without its side effects. In addition to causing uncomfortable jitters, it may also be the reason many people have a hard time getting great sleep.
Especially during this holiday season, and with the new year right around the corner, it’s important to keep some healthy tips in mind with regard to celebrating with alcohol. In this installment of our Healthy Sleep Series, we discuss how alcohol can impact our sleep.
We’ve covered melatonin and tryptophan with its buddy serotonin, and now we’re focusing on another important sleep-related biochemical—cortisol.
The road to wellness leads straight to serotonin: feeling energetic, fewer aches and pains, healthy aging, and—of course!—restful sleep.
Melatonin is a hormone our brain produces naturally in the pineal gland, deep in the center of our brain. It is secreted in darkness and sensitive to light.
