Looking for More Sleep and Energy? | Goop

For Sleep

Well Told Sleep Beauty promotes a state of calm and provides a non-habit-forming sleep aid with just two ingredients, organic lemon balm and organic raspberries. Organic lemon balm, or Melissa officinalis, is a plant from the mint family that is traditionally used as a sleep aid. Emerging research also shows its role in supporting sleep quality. Take two capsules daily, thirty minutes before bedtime.*

For Sleep

For those occasional times you’re having difficulty sleeping, our chocolate-mint-flavored Knock Me Out chew with melatonin, L-tryptophan, and vitamin B6 provides sleep support. Melatonin, a hormone produced by pineal gland in the brain, helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle, and L-tryptophan and vitamin B6 work to support the body’s own production of melatonin. Take Knock Me Out chews at bedtime only. You can begin with one and increase to two as needed.*

For Energy

More energy starts with getting enough sleep, but it doesn’t end there. Getting the nutrients we need through a healthy diet is also critical, and quality supplements can help. (Read more about what makes a high-quality supplement here. All goop protocols are produced in cGMP-certified facilities, which means extensive testing is carried out to verify the presence of active ingredients and the absence of heavy metals and harmful microbes.) Why Am I So Effing Tired? supports physical and mental fatigue with a high dose of B vitamins and an adaptogen blend full of traditional herbal extracts. Take one packet daily.*

for energy

Well Told’s Energy Booster is formulated with organic rhodiola and organic maca, plus beets and green tea powder to support energy and a healthy response to occasional mental fatigue. Take one capsule twice daily, but not immediately before bedtime, of course.*

For Sleep

Physical activity can improve the quality and quantity of sleep. The ideal duration, time of day, and style of exercise depends on your individual needs. But research shows that generally the more you enjoy it and the more you do it, the better.

If yoga (or mat work) is your movement of choice and you’re looking for more support, try Manduka’s GRP Yoga Mat. It has no-slip traction and a six-millimeter-thick cushion. We also like the Cork Yoga Block—it’s firm, durable, and easy to grip. And the cork is a more sustainable material than your typical yoga block.

For Energy

Exercise can help boost energy levels, too. When you want a bit of resistance training, these three-pound hand weights offer light resistance with a no-roll hexagonal shape to help your body stabilize during workouts or to keep the weights in place while they’re stored. If you’re looking for added leg resistance, strap on these ankle weights, which are one pound each.

For Sleep

Creating a relaxing nighttime ritual is a great start. Try removing sleep disturbances, like disrupting noises and electronics with blinking lights, and adding things that can help you sleep, like aromatherapy. The vitruvi Unwind Kit’s comforting blends of lavender, geranium, chamomile, frankincense, and other essential oils are a soothing way to help you settle into bed for a restful night’s sleep. Choose from four blends (Dusk, Quiet, Nightcap, Sleep) that you can diffuse or add to your bath or body oils.
