It’s no secret that sleep plays a significant role in our overall health. Our bodies need the daily opportunity to rest and recharge so we can remain alert during the day. Adults need a solid 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and obtaining quality sleep depends on a vital hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is produced by the body at night to help maintain our circadian rhythm, which follows a 24-hour cycle that dictates when we sleep and wake. This production and release of melatonin are dependent on natural light. When the sun goes down, melatonin levels rise to prepare the body for sleep. When the sun rises in the morning, melatonin levels decrease, causing us to feel more alert.
Sometimes, our body’s circadian rhythm is thrown off by factors like overnight work shifts, traveling in different time zones, stress, too much screen time before bed, or irregular sleep schedules. Supplementing with melatonin is proven to improve sleep time and restfulness, accelerate recovery from jet lag, and improve sleep for those working overnight shifts or dealing with altered sleep schedules.
CanPrev’s Melatonin is a sustained-release formula, offering 6-8 hours of continuous sleep support so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
