African ‘sleep secret’ helps shift racing thoughts into LOW GEAR

Sometimes, you feel like Goldilocks in your own bedroom.

It’s either too cold or too hot… too dark or too light… and too noisy or DEAFENINGLY quiet.

No matter how you slice it… you can’t fall asleep!

And even when the conditions are absolutely PERFECT… there’s NOTHING that seems to help keep your mind from racing…

And your eyelids popping open.

Friend, we all experience those nights every now and again.

But if this restlessness is occurring on a NIGHTLY basis… and you’re feeling DEPRIVED of sleep…

It’s time to switch up your bedtime routine.

There’s something you can try – and it’s totally different than counting sheep!

Cussonia zimmermannii is a tropical tree that grows native in the countries along the eastern coast of Africa.

The locals use its wood to make everything from drums to coffins…

And they use its bark as a healing herb in traditional African medicine for conditions ranging from fever to mental illness.

In Kenya and Tanzania, it’s thought to have magical powers…

But modern research has discovered some SOLID science behind its traditional use!

Turns out, substances in this tree bark called polyacetylene compounds help target receptors in the brain for GABA – a.k.a. the “off switch” for mental activity.

GABA plays a CRUCIAL role in helping TURN DOWN anxiety…

And helping you TURN IN for the night!

There are actually multiple types of GABA receptors… but GABA(A) is the one MOST associated with better sleep.

And THAT’S the one that C. zimmermannii ZEROES IN on!

Now, our bodies naturally produce GABA, which is actually an amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter…

But just like our other brain chemicals, sometimes the balance gets THROWN OFF.

In fact, levels of GABA tend to be REDUCED in folks with insomnia… who can’t “shut down” for the night.

Certain drugs that aim to support sleep and fight anxiety – like benzos — work by promoting GABA. That’s why they’re called “GABAergic” drugs.

Alcohol works in this same way, too.
But both those drugs and alcohol carry lots of risks… and can be addictive.

You might think that the answer is to simply supplement directly with GABA… but lots of studies have shown that it doesn’t necessarily reach the brain, where it’s needed most, when you consume it in that form.

Fortunately, you CAN consume another natural substance that works to help increase GABA, like C. zimmermannii.

This East African herb is currently available as one of the ingredients in the Chemix Sleep formula.

If you can’t find it… or you’d rather try something a little more familiar… other herbs that work in a similar way include magnolia, saffron, and linden.
