Thanks To This Supplement, I Sleep Like A Baby Every Night*

Even when I prioritize good sleep hygiene—i.e. a regular bedtime, blue-light-free bedroom, and a strict caffeine schedule—there are still nights when I simply can't fall asleep. I used to suffer in silence (and pray that my mood didn't reflect my lack of shut-eye the next morning).

But earlier this year, I started incorporating Gaia Herbs SleepThru® into my routine. The herbal supplement brings together my favorite ingredients to promote a restful sleep: Ashwagandha, passion flower extract, and jujube.

Last year, I watched my sleep routine crumble. While I used to snooze seamlessly, I finally understood what people meant when they said sleep issues.

Suddenly I was waking up in the middle of the night due to stress—and failing to fall back asleep. I became so nervous about my poor sleep that it only exacerbated the cycle.

Like the rest of Gaia Herb products, the natural supplement relies on botanicals. In the case of SleepThru®, that's the aforementioned collection of ashwagandha, passionflower, and jujube date. Here's what makes this round-up so special:

Ashwagandha: Meet one of the most revered plant medicines in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha helps regulate brain pathways to decrease cortisol levels1.* Research also shows it promotes quality sleep2, likely due to the compound triethylene glycol (which helps with sleep induction3).*

Passionflower: This climbing shrub naturally grows in the United States—but it has a long history as a tool used by Eclectic Physicians to prompt healthy sleep, especially for those who deal with restlessness. A systematic review of the herb shows it can ease stress4 that could be getting in the way of quality sleep.*

Jujube date: This fruit has been used by Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors for nearly 3,000 years to support sleep.* Its natural flavonoids and saponins have calming properties—and a study found that two phytochemicals extracted from jujube seeds5 were shown to have sedative effects on mice (which prolonged sleep).*

First things first, Gaia Herbs says you'll get the best results after taking this herbal supplement for one month. And I'm here to say: Trust the process.

I started to notice the racing thoughts in my head started to quiet around the 2-week mark.* While it felt like my sleep score was trending upwards, it wasn't until I looked at the data that I realized my average Sleep Score was up nearly five points month over month.
