When sleep won’t come, a tablet feels like the easy answer — but many find Nytol leaves them groggy in the morning and working less well night after night.
If you want a better night’s sleep without that morning fog, here are the gentle natural alternatives people reach for.
Why sleep won’t come
Broken sleep usually has a root — a busy mind, stress or a body clock that’s drifted.
- A racing mind, thoughts that won’t switch off at bedtime.
- Stress and tension, a wound-up nervous system keeping you alert.
- A drifting body clock, irregular routines confusing your sleep signals.
The short version: poor sleep usually has a root cause, and gentle support helps you drift off without the morning fog.
