You’ve heard the saying “I will sleep when I am dead” but I love the state of sleep. When I am about to morph into a pumpkin, I welcome sleep in all its glory. I tend to get sleepy between 10-11PM. That’s because the darkness of night signals the body to produce melatonin, a natural hormone that helps bring sleep on. This hormone secretes at different times in all of us, depending on the circadian rhythms of our bodies. My husband's melatonin production starts around midnight or later. He is the night owl to my early bird. I have 5 recommendations for better sleep!
