In a Gallup survey, 33% of Americans reported that their sleep was fair or poor – and this includes athletes, who may experience even greater-than-average stress and its negative effects on sleep.
Two-thirds of athletes report trouble with sleep the night before a competition. An evaluation of professional hockey players showed the number of players who reported sleep disturbances doubled during the season compared to off-season.
In addition to fatigue and compromised performance the day following a poor night’s sleep, one study found student athletes who slept less than eight hours a night were twice as likely to suffer an injury.
Build a better sleep routine with the Sleep Stack for Athletes, a doctor-recommended combination of the clinically studied nutrients that promote restful sleep.*
Thorne’s Sleep Stack for Athletes includes two products:
Melaton-3, which contains 3 mg of melatonin per capsule, helps maintain your normal sleep-wake cycle – your circadian rhythm.* This is especially helpful if you have jet lag from traveling across time zones.
Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting action by decreasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, by improving the ability to stay asleep, and by enhancing the depth of sleep.*
Magnesium Bisglycinate is a lightly sweetened, well-tolerated powdered formula that promotes muscle relaxation and restful sleep. It’s an ideal formula for active individuals wanting to unwind.*
The bisglycinate form of magnesium is one of the best absorbed forms of magnesium and is a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation because the magnesium is bound to glycine, a calming neurotransmitter.*
Benefits of Thorne’s Sleep Stack for Athletes:
- Supports muscle relaxation*
- Benefits restful sleep*
- Helps regulate circadian rhythms that can be disrupted when exercising too close to bedtime or from jet lag, for example*
- Supports mental and physical recovery during sleep*
Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.
