“Stress & Sleep: How to Support a Restful Mind in Your 40s”

Intro:
Sleep struggles and stress often go hand-in-hand during midlife. A 2020 study in Sleep Medicine Reviews found that chronic stress can disrupt sleep cycles and recovery (van Dalfsen & Markus, 2020).

Body:
✔️ Magnesium Matters: Magnesium supplementation is linked to better sleep quality and stress response.
✔️ Natural Helpers: Herbs like ashwagandha or lemon balm can ease nighttime anxiety — check research before use.
✔️ Nightly Rituals: Try a ‘digital sunset’ one hour before bed, calming tea, or a warm bath to prepare your mind for rest.

Closing:
Your 40s deserve a calm mind and deep sleep. Support both with mindful habits and smart supplements.
