Natural Sleep Solution Costs PENNIES a day

You toss and turn most nights, struggling to fall asleep.
Feeling exhausted rather than refreshed from a whole night’s rest, you have trouble dragging yourself out of bed when morning arrives.
If this sounds familiar, don’t worry… you’re NOT alone.
But exciting new research reveals a simple solution that could have you soon sleeping like a baby again.
In fact, it’s SO effective it EVEN works in folks with sleep disorders!
More than a third of American adults don’t get enough sleep.
The consequences of consistently missing out on VITAL shuteye range from mood changes and declining cognitive function to an increased likelihood of obesity and disease.
However, prescription sleeping pills aren’t the answer. Drugs don’t deliver on their promises and can have severe side effects.
But a new study has uncovered a far safer, more effective solution that costs PENNIES a day.
Researchers say taking the amino acid glycine before bed can significantly enhance sleep QUALITY and increase daytime ALERTNESS.
In other words, this simple, cheap supplement delivers precisely what we want. And that, of course, is more time spent in deeper and more restorative sleep… but without the troubling side effects.
And glycine works in people with sleep disorders as well as in folks who simply struggle with getting a good night’s sleep despite being otherwise healthy.
Study participants woke up feeling more invigorated and consistently reported improved afternoon alertness and performance.
Best of all, there were no noticeable side effects or feelings of drowsiness the following day.
The results may seem a bit surprising at first. After all, you wouldn’t usually think of glycine (or amino acids in general) as a sleep aid.
But when you dig a bit deeper, it makes perfect sense.
You see, glycine attaches to NMDA receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. This is the area of the brain responsible for regulating your body’s internal clock or circadian rhythm.
And the benefits don’t end there. Glycine also reduces body temperature and widens blood vessels, creating the optimal conditions for a good night’s sleep.
Taking 3 to 5 grams of glycine powder dissolved in water one hour before bed could be the sleep solution you’ve longed for.
P.S. [ALERT] Poor sleep can RUIN your Golden Years!
