How slumber outside and magnolia bark extract can help you sleep better for longer

We're off to a special huckleberry patchbetween high mountain lakes in the northern Cascade Range.

It'll be a quick trip between school, sports, and outdoor movie night.

It's essential for us.

It's how my son & I take root & stabilize for the changes of fall.

Just as things begin to get hectic with school & fall busy-ness & the coming holidays...

We step away from it all.

It's a great way to get restorative sleep and synch our circadian rhythms to the changing sun-cycle.

Even your gut microbes fluctuate with your body's circadian rhythm! (1)

Sleeping on the earth grounds our energy (literally) - soaking up the extra (agitating) positive ions, and mellowing our electrical charge.

Just when his away-from-home commitments are ramping up, we pause & dial it down.

We spend hours walking together with no distractions, playing cards in the tent, picking berries and chatting - without a bit of urgency or rush.

It's calming.

Deeply.

At home, to balance out the stress of modern life, I'm intentional about our food, screens, and sleep routines.

I also lean on special nutrients, like Honokiol extract from the bark of the Magnolia tree(Magnolia officinalis).  

It's long been used for relaxation - and now we know it does this by interacting with GABAreceptors in the brain.  

Honokiol molecules are so tiny they can cross the blood-brain barrier!

HonoPure by EcoNugenics can be helpful at bedtime to relax into deep restful & sustained sleep.
