Calling all insomniacs

I’m the type of person who can’t sleep unless conditions are exactly right. I’m talking fan on, one leg out of the blanket, podcast playing at a low volume, and just the subtlest bit of light peeking into my room. And even then, slumber often evades me, and I lie awake thinking about the next method I should try to help me fall asleep.

I know I’m not alone in this. Stress, anxiety, being way too busy – it’s hard to relax, or even find the time to invest in good sleep hygiene. If you’re tired of being tired (and who isn’t?), read on to discover how HealthyCell’s REM Sleep gels help you sleep at night.

The skinny on sleep

In order to understand how to improve your sleep, you first need to understand what the stages of sleep are like, and how they all contribute to your waking hours. If you tended to nap in your Psych 101 class, stick around for this quick lesson – if you were wide awake, feel free to skip ahead.

There are 4 main stages of sleep:

1. NREM-1, where alpha and theta brain waves are abundant and you begin to fall asleep
2. NREM-2, when your body relaxes and you produce theta brain waves
3. NREM-3, the state of deep sleep and delta waves
4. REM sleep, highlighted by vivid dreams and heightened brain activity

Each of these is critical for a good night’s sleep, and together, they cycle through around 4-6 times each night.

And what do these stages of sleep even do for you? Well, when you get high-quality sleep, you don’t just feel rested and rejuvenated. Sleep also helps:

• Memory consolidation
• Cognitive function
• Emotional processing and regulation
• Creative thinking
• Physical recovery
• Problem-solving
• Reducing irritability

If you’re somebody who has a high-stress job (like me) and works out a lot (also me), then you know exactly how a bad night can affect your brain and body. There has to be a quick, efficient, and healthy way to aid sleep – so where is it?

HealthyCell at the helm

As I lamented another poor night’s sleep over coffee with my friends, and they all pitched tried-and-failed methods – melatonin gummies, going to bed earlier, going to bed later, doing yoga, going to a hypnotist – one piped up and asked if I’d tried HealthyCell.

According to him, his mom takes these convenient little gel packs for her joints, but they also make ones for sleep. I made a mental note, and delved into research once I got home.

HealthyCell packs all the supplements and nutrients you could possibly want into one tasty, ultra-absorbent gel. You heard me, a gel! None of the countless gummies or chewables or pills – just a smooth liquid that goes down like a dream and is more natural than synthetic binding glues and coatings you’d typically find.

Like any sleep-deprived person, I was willing to give it a shot. I ordered a 30-serving supply in natural cherry flavor, and was on my dreamy journey.

The Sandman of supplements

The day I got it, I decided to give it the best chance possible. I tore open a pack and slurped it down about an hour before my ideal bedtime (note on flavor: a bit chalky at first, but ultimately fine) and set up my sleep parameters as cited above. At 11 pm, I brushed my teeth, climbed into bed, laid my head against the pillow…

…And then my alarm was ringing. What just happened? I checked my phone again. Yup, 7 am. I had fallen asleep almost immediately and slept like a rock through the entire night. Color me shocked and awed – I’m pretty sure that hadn’t happened since I was a baby.

It turns out, HealthyCell REM Sleep isn’t a fluke. Its advanced formulation means you’re getting the most out of exactly the ingredients you need to support each sleep stage. These powerful packs promise to:

• Help you fall asleep easily with relaxing herbal extracts
• Lower body temperature for better, uninterrupted sleep
• Provide deep, lasting sleep that doesn’t leave you sluggish
• Support REM sleep with a blend of sleep hormone regulating ingredients

Plus, they aren’t habit-forming, a concern I tend to have with other sleep supplements being peddled. I can take it whenever I want or need, and feel good about doing so.

It’s important to note, of course, that with any supplement, results can take time. The longer and more consistently you take them, the better they work – and the better you’ll feel.

For those who know what they need, here’s the ingredients list:

• Vitamin D3 (20 mcg)
• Vitamin B6 (3.4 mg)
• Calcium (30 mg)
• Magnesium (200 mg)
• GABA (750 mg)
• Lemon Balm Extract (600 mg)
• L-Glycine (500 mg)
• L-Theanine (200 mg)
• 5HTP (100 mg)
• Melatonin (1 mg)
