Banish BRAIN FOG… in 29 minutes!
You tell yourself to SNAP OUT IT…
Or to GET WITH IT…
But when an episode of brain fog hits… it seems like your head is in the clouds with ZERO escape.
But what if I told you there was a simple way to STOP brain fog and stay more ALERT?
And it doesn’t involve countless cups of coffee or those risky ‘energy’ drinks?
Well, my friend, there IS!
And best of all, it only requires 29 minutes of your day.
A study out of the University of South Florida says getting an EXTRA 29 minutes of sleep each night can help increase your mindfulness during the day.
This includes everything from overall well-being, job performance, and even keeping your mind from wandering.
Researchers examined a group of over 60 nurses (who NEED to be completely alert for their job) and their sleep patterns for two weeks.
During that time, they wore sleep trackers and answered a series of ‘mindfulness’ questions three times per day.
After combining data from both the trackers and the answers to the questionnaire… they found that on average an extra 29 minutes of shut-eye allowed them to stay more focused and feel more alert.
(Because let’s face it, you can be ‘awake’ but not fully focused even if you are getting sleep!)
So, what can YOU do to make sure you’re getting enough quality sleep to eliminate brain fog?
It can be as simple as eliminating screen time before bed. But, my other go-to is magnesium.
Magnesium is a great supplement to help you get into that DEEP SLEEP zone that will have you feeling more rested, alert, and focused.
Magnesium naturally influences your nervous system by blocking ‘excitable’ molecules from binding to neurons… creating a ‘calming’ effect.
It also promotes the release of renin and melatonin – two hormones that regulate your sleep quality.
Magnesium is widely available both as a supplement AND in countless foods.
You can find magnesium supplements at health food stores and online retailers. And foods like pumpkin seeds, spinach, and even mouthwatering dark chocolate are PACKED with magnesium.
To the wonders of sleep,
