Read the story, then use these themes to decide what deserves attention in your own routine.

It’s two in the morning, you have a big day ahead, but you can’t stop looking at the clock and dreading the fast approaching alarm. Nights like these seem to become more frequent as you age and losing sleep isn’t good. Doctors suggest 7-8 hours of restful sleep to recharge our batteries for the trials and tribulations of daily life, but how often do we actually feel rested in the morning? The usual routine consists of hitting the snooze button multiple times before falling out of bed and reaching for the first caffeinated beverage. This too is not healthy.

Current sleep aides on the market seem great, but often fall short of achieving the rested feeling when waking. How can you obtain this seemingly fleeting concept? Our answer is Productive Sleep. It’s Life Priority’s latest supplement designed by life extension scientist Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw, it was specifically designed to help you feel rested and more alert in the morning.

Themes to carry forward

Notice

Start with the pattern you can actually see

Energy, sleep, digestion, mood, movement, and recovery all leave clues. Paying attention to the pattern makes the next step more useful.

Simplify

A smaller routine is easier to keep

Choose one or two habits that fit your real week. Food quality, hydration, movement, sleep, and stress recovery usually matter before complexity.

Support

Match supplements to a specific priority

A focused supplement routine works best when it supports a clear goal and sits alongside the basics you already repeat.

Most nights, people lay down and think about their day, plan for the next or worry about what’s ultimately out of their control. Quieting the mind isn’t always easy. The Productive Sleep formulas contains gabba, choline, thenuses glycine to help your mind reach a state of relaxation and achieve REM (rapid eye movement) which is the ultimate sleep goal. REM allows you mind to power down and get ready for the next day; it also helps with memory and retention. Glycine helps improve fatigue, liveliness, peppiness and clear-headedness. Productive Sleep utilizes glycine along with other ingredients that combine to deliver one of the top sleep-aides on the market today. Productive Sleep is so great, that you can take it before a nap to get the most out of those necessary 30 minute power naps. Unlike other products, Productive Sleep doesn’t leave you feeling groggy if you don’t sleep for a full eight hours.

Using Productive Sleep can also help you monitor your weight. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation lowers your levels of a hormone that regulates appetite called leptin. So if you don’t get a good night’s rest, you can feel hungrier during the day and overeat which leads to weight gain.
