Sleep is crucial to the health and well being of each and every human being. However, the sad truth is that the majority of people are not getting enough sleep and do not make sleep a priority. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 50-70 million Americans do not get enough sleep. The CDC recommends that adults receive 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

Why is sleep so important anyway? Harvard Health Publications reported six highly significant reasons to get the appropriate amount of sleep each night. The appropriate amount of sleep aids our mind, metabolism and weight, safety, mood, cardiovascular health and disease prevention. Sleep aids the brain in committing new information to memory. Lack of sleep may contribute to weight gain due to the ineffective way the tired body processes and stores carbohydrates. Lack of sleep also alters hormone levels particularly testosterone and human growth hormone. These two important hormones affect multiple metabolic and anabolic functions. Altered hormone levels also affect appetite and subsequently result in overeating. Lack of sleep contributes to safety issues such as falls, errors, and accidents. Sleep deprivation may result in irritability, impatience, inability to concentrate, moodiness, and a lack of desire to participate in hobbies. There is a relationship between sleep disorders and hypertension, increased stress hormone levels, and irregular heartbeat. Lastly, getting the appropriate amount of sleep may help fight cancer as sleep deprivation alters immune function including the activity of the body's killer cells, the cells that fight cancerous cells.

Now we know how much sleep our body requires and why sleep is so important. However, sometimes this information is just not enough, especially for those individuals who try to get the recommended amount of seep, but instead lay in bed at night and toss and turn but just cannot get to sleep. The same may be true for people who rely on prescription medications to get to sleep, which leave them feeling groggy in the morning. Revitatropin PM is a sleep aid designed to help your body go to sleep and wake the next morning feeling rested and refreshed. Revitatropin PM is comprised of a proprietary blend of gama amino butyric acid (GABA), L-Theanine, and Melatonin. In a nutshell, GABA produces a state of calm in the brain; L-Theanine induces a relaxing effect; and Melatonin is a hormone that helps control sleep and wake cycles and when taken as a supplement often helps with insomnia or aids those who have difficulty getting to sleep.

Revitatropin PM was designed as a sleep aid that is not only for insomniacs. People who do not experience difficulty sleeping may also find Revitatropin PM to be very beneficial. Many consumers have reported the ability to sleep through the night and feel even more rested than normal after taking Revitatropin PM. Revitatropin PM is designed to be a safe and effective sleep aid for the purpose of achieving optimal hours of sleep each night which in effect improves the mind, assists with metabolism and weight, increases safety, improves mood and cardiovascular health, and contributes to disease prevention.
