Getting a good night’s sleep is key, but that’s easier said than done. First, my sleep patterns have changed as I’ve gotten older, and I find it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep at times.

My husband and I also have different sleep and wake times. Although sometimes I may need to go to bed early for a morning session, he prefers to stay up late. When he finally goes to sleep, it often wakes me up for a while.

I also take care of my husband, who is in a wheelchair, so it’s really important that I can sleep through these breaks (or at least roll over and take a quick nap) and rest so that I have the energy I need to help him through the day.

In the past, I’ve tried various nighttime support tools, including traditional sleep aids. But they left me tired in the morning and I prefer a more natural approach.

I am very selective about what I put into my body in terms of food and I truly believe that food is medicine. So for me to accept something so unnatural was not in line with my values.

I was looking for a gentler, more natural solution that would help me sleep through the night and wake up refreshed for work and personal responsibilities in the morning. When I discovered mindbodygreen’s Sleep Support+, I was intrigued.

It contained a simple list of ingredients—magnesium, syzyphus, and PharmaGABA®—and had many five-star reviews to its name. I admit that I was a little skeptical about the product at first (Were all those positive reviews really true? Is it worth the higher price?), but I decided to order my first bottle for the holidays to see what it was like. I’m so happy: Sleep Support+ has made my sleep sound deeper and easier.*
