How Do I Fall Asleep

How Do I Fall Asleep?
If you struggle with insomnia you probably dread bedtime.  Although you may lie awake alone, there are millions of other people who regularly struggle with sleep, and much like yourself they're asking themselves How Do I Fall Asleep?

Natural muscle relaxers can be a great way to help with sleep.  StoneAge Wellness Relax Already is a natural muscle relaxer that contains valerian root.  Valerian root has been used for centuries to help fight muscle pain and even anxiety, but it is also a natural sedative.  Relax Already has gained traction as a natural sleep aid, and this is in part to the constituent valerian root.  Studies have even shown that valerian can provide support for sleep.

One study tested the effectiveness of valerian root on sleep.  The study tested 128 volunteers, and it used 400 mg of valerian, 60 mg or valerian plus 30 mg of hops, and a placebo.  Each participant took each form three times over nine nonconsecutive nights.  The study showed that the 400 mg of valerian supported healthy sleep much better.  The participants noticed a reduction in the time that it took fall asleep, a reduction in the amount of times they awoke during the night, and best of all a higher quality of sleep.  The study also showed that those who considered themselves poor sleepers had the best improvements with sleep.

Lying awake at night is frustrating, and there's no arguing it.  Natural muscle relaxers, especially Relax Already, can offer wonderful support.  Relax Already contains valerian root, which has centuries of use, and studies have shown that it can help to improve sleep habits and quality.

Why Use a Natural Muscle Relaxer

Back pain and back spasm is probably one of the most common reasons a muscle relaxer, also known as muscle relaxant, is prescribed by a doctor. Some of the prescription muscle relaxers are Soma, Skelaxin, Flereril, Norflex and even Valium.

Why Use a Natural Muscle Relaxer?


That brings us to the use of natural muscle relaxers. They are made with one or more natural ingredients. Usually these ingredients have a long history of being used by thousands of people for back spasm and pain. One of these ingredients is Valerian, an herbal relaxer that has been used for hundreds of years and by countless people. Valerian is one of the ingredients found in Formula 303 and Relax Already.

The main reason a natural muscle relaxer is a better choice over a prescription is that there are usually minimal or no side-effects. Of course everyone reacts different to even natural herbs, so it's often a good idea to first try it in your home and not to drive or use machinery while taking even a natural muscle relaxer.
