how to fall asleep with dream
Seventy percent of adults in America don’t get enough sleep. Seventy percent! This means that roughly 50-70 million American adults have trouble with sleep, according to the CDC. At beam, we saw it was an essential problem to help solve and thus created dream, an all natural sleep product (that also tastes delicious) to help you relax, fall asleep and deepen the quality of your sleep.
Dream consists of six core ingredients: reishi mushrooms, l-theanine, magnesium, melatonin, and nano-cbd. Here’s why they’ll help improve your sleep.
Red Reishi Mushroom: To lower your stress.
Reishi is becoming a more popular ingredient in your functional supplements. It’s a medicinal mushroom from ancient chinese culture known as “the mushroom of immortality.” It is a powerful antioxidant, can help support the immune system and lower cortisol levels* (NIH). Aka great for immune support and stress.
Pro Tip: not all reishi is created equally. Avoid reishi mycelium.
L-Theanine: To help you stay asleep.
L-theanine is an amino acid most commonly found in green tea, and promotes relaxation. It can help your body produce more serotonin, dopamine, GABA and glycine which can help you stay asleep. Once asleep, it increases alpha brain wave activity, which is associated with increased creativity, increased performance under stress, improved learning and concentration and decreased anxiety (ENI).
Pro Tip: Don’t be surprised if you get crazy dreams
Magnesium Citrate: To help overall sleep.
Magnesium is an essential mineral for your body, in fact every cell and organ in your body uses magnesium to properly function. It helps fight inflammation, lower blood pressure, and fall and stay asleep. For sleep, it essentially helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which is what gets your body to relax. It also regulates the melatonin in your body which is what regulates the sleep-wake cycle for your body (NIH).
Pro Tip: Magnesium isn’t just for sleeping. It’s also found in many of your favorite foods like avocados, dark chocolate, and nuts.
Melatonin: To fall asleep.
Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces to help you fall asleep when it gets dark outside. It supports your circadian rhythm, but can be disrupted with additional light inside your own or things like daylight savings. Supplementing with melatonin can help support your body’s natural sleep rhythm.
Nano-cbd: To support overall sleep.
Cbd is one of cannabinoids (non psychoactive) extracted from the hemp plant, which interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system plays a role regulating things like mood, appetite and sleep in your body. We use nano-cbd, in which we shrink the particle sizes in order for greater absorption potential.
Pro tip: Not all cbd is created equally either, look for companies that use third-party lab testing and publicly post the lab results.
And because we wanted dream to taste like a dream, we added cacao, cinnamon and monk fruit so it’s a tasty, calorie free hot chocolate treat to lull you to sleep.
