Are You Part Of The “wired & Tired” Generation? Try A Natural Approach To Get Your Zen & Zzzzs Back

It’s a situation familiar to so many of us – we’re tired from the stresses of daily life, juggling work, social and family life, but frustratingly unable to get a good night’s sleep. So, we’re stuck in a rut, living life “wired and tired”.  The stats1 more than back this up – 1 in 5 of people over 16 in the UK say they are stressed every day, with women more affected than men (24% compared to 15%). Only 6% say the are never stressed!

When it comes to sleep, 14 million people suffer in silence with an undiagnosed sleep disorder2. 75% of people2 cite the workplace for sleep problems with factors including workload, job security worries and out-of-hours messages and emails a cause of poor sleep. In addition, a third of people2 experience sleep poverty, where poor living conditions, noise pollution and uncomfortable sleep environments reduce sleep quality.

All of these issues can have a detrimental effect on our physical and mental wellbeing. But, what can we do about it?

Two new super supplement product launches look set to help us break the “self-fulfilling” cycle, where stress and poor sleep negatively fuel each other. Stress leads to nutrient malabsorption and depletion, this can mean we struggle to sleep and lead to inflammation and hinder the body’s repair, which in turn intensifies stress and anxiety! A poor night’s sleep can alter our attitude and motivation, impact glucose regulation, affect our ability to burn fat and build muscle and drive anxiety.

Using a carefully crafted blend of natural ingredients in therapeutic doses and scientifically formulated, highly bioavailable combination of vitamins and minerals, Revive Active is offering “wrap around support” with a daily and nightly dose of calm and emotional balance via:

NEW Calm Capsules from Revive Active (RRP: £24.95 per box – 60 capsules. £0.83 a day):
A daily calm supplement with 12 active ingredients designed to help with emotional balance. This relaxing botanical blend contains 300mg Ashwagandha & 30mg Saffron (which help balance cortisol, the stress hormone) per two capsules along with Lemon Balm, L-theanine and Magnesium Bisglycinate – these ingredients work on the GABA receptors and increase Alpha brainwaves, thus promoting relaxation while maintaining focus. Vitamin B6, B12, D and Vitamin C are also included for stress, mood and adrenal support. Daily use of Calm Capsules can create a feeling of relaxation and act as a mood enhancer.

NEW Sleep Capsules from Revive Active (RRP: £24.95 per box – 60 capsules. £0.83 a day):
A daily sleep supplement with 7 active ingredients to support a restful night’s sleep. This super supplement contains 450mg of Montmorency Cherry extract & 220mg of Chamomile Flower extract per two capsules along with 100mg of Magnesium Bisglycinate.  The magnesium-zine synergy in each capsule supports sleep, stress relief and relaxation. Daily use of Sleep Capsules can help improve the quality of sleep, leading to better concentration and alertness and a reduction in stress and anxiety.

Nicola Sainty, Nutritional Therapist and Education & Training Manager for Revive Active comments, “Whilst it’s important that we take a food-first approach to nutrition to help balance our physical and mental wellbeing, it’s reassuring to know that there are scientifically formulated supplements available to help support our daily lives. These products are an exciting new development, which can be used as part of a “supplement stacking” approach – taken alongside our other key super supplements such as Zest Active or Beauty Complex.

“The fast pace of modern life often leads us to feel burnt out and in need of a nervous system rebalance and reset. New Calm Capsules incorporate some exciting ingredients to support emotional balance including ashwagandha, saffron, lemon balm and magnesium. Our new Sleep Capsules contain high levels of cherry extract and chamomile flower to aid a restful night’s sleep, which can in turn reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm the next day. Take these two new capsules daily for a powerhouse combination for a peaceful vibe!”

The Cortisol and Melatonin Curve

Nicola Sainty, Revive Active Nutritional Therapist explains, “We need cortisol (sometimes referred to as the stress hormone) to get us “up and out there” and function energetically to meet the demands of the day. Our cortisol levels work with our body clock-  rising in the morning to get us out of bed and falling in the late evening allowing us to get off to sleep.  Melatonin on the other hand is our sleep ally – the sleep hormone – rising at night giving us the calming effect that allows us to sleep when our heads touch the pillow. Unfortunately, that natural curve is disrupted by external pressures resulting in cortisol levels that remain high, quashing melatonin’s soporific effect.  Cortisol and melatonin are “yin and yang” – when one is high, the other is low, so achieving their balance is at the right time is crucial. When left unchecked, continued high cortisol levels don’t just simply destroy natural sleep patterns, they can lead to chronic health issues.  The active ingredients in Calm + Sleep capsules support the re-balance of the cortisol / melatonin curve allowing both of these hormones to work effectively when we need them to.”

Further statistics3 show that stress is felt across all generations; 39% of Gen Z and 36% of Millennials experience daily stress and anxiety, followed by 39% of Gen X and 22% of Baby Boomers. The pressures of life today go beyond day-to-day stresses, with people worried due to financial pressures, political unrest, global conflicts and environmental challenges. Add in the influence of social media and tech in our lives, and it’s easy to understand why finding natural solutions to help ease anxiety, reduce stress and improve sleep is vital.

As an added bonus to aid a restful and calm night’s sleep, Revive Active have the premium feel ‘the sleep set’ (RRP £24.95) available featuring a scrunchie, pillowcase and eye mask.
