Can't sleep because of stress? Here's the solution!

Everyone knows that stressful events affect good sleep. Scientists at the Japan Sleep Institute have found that the active ingredient in sugar cane and other natural products can relieve stress and help you sleep soundly. In the world of change, demanding jobs and socio-economic factors are driving people's sleep deprivation. Loss of sleep causes a tremendous amount of stress, and stress itself is one of the main factors responsible for sleep loss or difficulty falling asleep. Currently available sleeping pills do not refer to stress components and often have serious side effects. Sleep loss is also associated with certain other conditions, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, anxiety, mania deficiency, etc. The research group found that octacosanol reduces stress and restores stress-affected sleep back to normal. Octacosanol is abundant in various daily foods such as sugar cane, rice bran, wheat germ oil, beeswax etc.
