Good sleep is vital to our health and happiness. We automatically look and feel our best, are more productive in our daily tasks, and are generally happy to be around after a good night’s sleep.

When our sleep is disturbed, on the other hand, even the most basic daily activities can seem like a burden, we are in a bad mood and our appearance suffers as well. Some sleep experts believe that a lack of sleep may be responsible for up to 40,000 traffic accidents each year.

But why do so many of us regularly wake up so tired and sluggish in the mornings, despite getting enough sleep? Experts have different opinions about how much sleep we need, but it’s the quality of sleep that seems to be most important.

Sleep is divided into two basic levels, light superficial sleep and deep REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. It is during this deep sleep that the repair and restoration of the body takes place. The muscles of the body are totally relaxed, the body is replenished and we wake up in the morning refreshed and full of energy.

So how can we get REM sleep to wake up refreshed and rejuvenated?

An excellent natural remedy for a great night’s sleep is Black Seed Oil or Nigella Sativa Oil. This ancient remedy has been used for thousands of years for a variety of ailments, including sleep problems. Research suggests that it may help us achieve the stage of deep sleep that we all need for optimal health and happiness. But the use of premium quality cold-pressed organic black seed oil is recommended for optimal effect.

Black seed oil is an all-natural insomnia remedy that works completely differently than other herbal products in that it does not cause drowsiness. It is a holistic sleep therapy that works best when used consistently over a long period of time. Black Seed Oil naturally balances and harmonizes the body, resulting in better sleep, reduced stress, and better energy levels, which obviously also makes us look our best.

How does black seed oil work?

According to experts, when we sleep long and deep, our body produces a hormone called human growth hormone or HGH. This is known as the ‘fountain of youth’ by many as it has such profound anti-aging benefits as improving energy levels, boosting the immune system for firm, smooth skin and thick, shiny hair. Black Seed Oil acts as a precursor to deep sleep which, in turn, triggers the body to produce HGH or “the fountain of youth”.

Many people notice an immediate difference just by taking 1 teaspoon of Alive Earth Black Seed Oil 1 hour before bed, while for others it can take up to 2 weeks to kick in.
