Don’t ‘Sleep’ On This Advice…
It’s pretty common knowledge that getting enough sleep is crucial. Without it… just about every aspect of life suffers to some extent. Sometimes, it’s just enough to get through the work day, but not enough for the other things- like friends and family or vice versa. The problem is that not all of us are capable of fulfilling this critical component… so what gives?

All Give, No Take…
Especially when it comes to the avid gym-goer trying to meet their goals, or the individual that’s just really trying to get ahead in life. Sleep is often the most overlooked component to these things. There are far more effective ways to not only inducing sleep quickly and prolonging sleep periods, but also deepening them (increasing frequency/duration of REM).
Of course, there are the more common methods… exercise, eat healthy, drink lots of water, practice some form of meditation, and more… but if all that’s already being done to some extent… then, obviously, those won’t do the trick. Work stress, late nights, ruminating thoughts, family drama, and God knows what else could easily be the causation of sleep deprivation.
The worst part is when ‘enough’ sleep is achieved… but still waking from what feels like the dead and every limb is heavier than it should be… something MUST be done. Especially when your primary thoughts begin revolving around quitting your job(s) and cancelling your plans like they’re Netflix subscriptions.
Hence why it doesn’t hurt to try some other ‘less-known’, yet highly-effective methods!
Old Dog, but New Tricks?
Over the centuries, age-old methods that were utilized by ancient civilizations for thousands of years have been slowly forgotten and lost to time (and greed). Luckily, this information, being as valuable as it is, has survived enough through close-knit communities overtime and has begun to resurface.
The external efforts of others to suppress this information have been tremendous, but humanity is greater than this malevolence. It’s a shame that it took this long for proper education to reach the people, but, alas, please take into account the following items as they pertain to improving the quality and duration of sleep significantly…

Beginner Sleep Protocol:
- Lemon Balm 10:1 Tablets | Water Ethanol Extract | Melissa Officinalis
- Oleamide Powder
- Melatonin Capsules
- Magnesium Glycinate Capsules
- L-Theanine Capsules
Advanced Sleep Protocol:
- Magnolia Bark Extract Tablets | Magnolia Officinalis
- Triacetyluridine (TAU) Capsules
- Red Reishi Mushroom 8:1 Dual Extract Capsules | Whole Fruiting Body | Ganoderma lucidum
- LucidiSPORE™ | Super Critical CO2 Reishi Spore Oil
- Bacopa Monnieri Tablets | Minimum 24% Bacosides
- Sleep Support Capsules | Natural Sleep Aid
The Phuture Protocol:
That may seem like a lot to some individuals, but that is also why it’s separated into two primary categories… beginner and advanced. Typically, a couple items from the beginner protocol is all that one requires… but when sleep has become a top priority (as it should be), then a more advanced approach can be astronomically more effective, and will make a world of difference in not only cognitive function but mood, productivity, health and, most importantly, GAINS.
Over the past few months, I’ve incorporated every single item listed above to great success with the exclusion of Sleep Support (a pre-made consisting of these items) and Lemon Balm 10:1 which I use HALF the recommended dosage as I am very sensitive to its thyroid-modulating effects. The L-Theanine, Bacopa, and TAU I take twice a day as they also promote calmness, memory retention, BDNF (brain repair), non-stimulating focus during waking (even though they aid in sleep later on), and so much more.
Speaking of items that help sleep later on… Vitamin D3 is a big one and many studies reveal that taking it in the morning actually helps to regulate a healthy circadian rhythm. I have also experienced this as well. With this particular vitamin being one of the most common deficiencies in the United States and Europe, it’s wise to ensure adequate amounts of it are being supplemented with, especially if the individual doesn’t receive at least 15 minutes of direct exposure to the Sun daily.
Unfortunately, tanning beds don’t count (lol), as they don’t contain a large enough spectrum of UV in order to elicit sufficient vitamin D production in the body. Which is why we need either more Sun or an external source, and milk isn’t enough for that!
