Emmalee and bar MU’s, match made in heaven.

Lately I’ve been having difficulty sleeping so I’ve been doing some research on different supplements and ways to sleep better.  I’ve taken melatonin in the past and while doing my research I came across and interesting blog that has some warnings about melatonin.  I’ve included the link to the full post below, but here is the biggest takeaway I took.

Melatonin is a hormone similar to estrogen or testosterone and just like taking any other hormone, there are risks.  Using melatonin regularly to get to sleep can lead to your body producing less or it and therefore result in you needing to take more of it.

From Mark’s Daily Apple:

Why Melatonin Is a Dangerous Supplement

The blog also has some great tips for traveling and ways to combat jet lag.  Here are a few:

  • Once you’ve landed and settled into your lodgings, get a workout in.  Instead of taking a nap, get your heart rate going.
  • Eat a small protein rich meal that has some fiber in it.  Keep it light so your body isn’t stressed additionally.
  • Reset your watch and convince yourself you’re on that time.
  • Drink water, at least a quart the first day.
Let me know your thoughts.  Do you have any suggestions for a better nights sleep?  What about traveling?  Any good tips?  Since it’s the holidays and people will be traveling I’m sure they will thank you for any suggestions you may have.
