4 Calming Drinks to Help You Catch Some Zzz’s

Anyone who has trouble sleeping knows that it’s not just those nighttime hours that become miserable while you’re tossing and turning – the waking hours can be just as bad when you just feel too exhausted to function.  But beyond drugging yourself with Ambien and Lunesta, there are healthy alternatives that will help you get the sleep you need, just by sipping!  The opposite of energy drinks, sleep drinks are designed to help you achieve the relaxation level necessary to be able to fall asleep, giving you the rest you need to support a healthy lifestyle.  With natural ingredients like lavender and chamomile, these bed-time beverages are full of the things we know are proven to aid relaxation!
