MY PARTNERS: One of the things I’ve been working on improving is my sleep. Sleep is extremely important for many different functions in the body, yet sometimes we can have trouble falling or staying asleep. That’s why, I’ve not only ensured my sleep hygiene practice is supportive, I have a herbal ally that I have by my bedside at night in case I wake up and am having trouble falling back to sleep. And that my friends is WishGarden Herbs Sleepy Nights which includes passionflower, skullcap and hops. It helps calm my system and helps me fall back to sleep if I wake.

Crafted for rapid absorption, WishGarden’s remedies provide swift and potent benefits that you’ll feel in minutes. With no fillers, gums, binders, or sugars, they harness the full strength of botanicals in their purest and most effective form.

I add a few pumps of Sleepy Nights to my water and keep it by my bedside. They also have a wide array of other amazing herbal allies to help with mood, women's hormones and MUCH more.
