Nature's Cues

Nature's Cues

Nature prompts us to change our rhythms for better balance throughout the year.

At Shasta Sleep Services, the safety and health of our staff and patients are essential to us.  We take nature’s cues of the days little light, winter weather, COVID concerns, and the season’s typical sicknesses with great seriousness. We are doing our part to support everyone’s health and safety by shortening our days in the office, eliminating the dark drive home, and encouraging more time and attention to health, well-being, and family.

Effective Nov 1, 2020, office hours will be 9 am-3 pm, Monday - Thursday.  We are always available to assist over the phone, 24 hours a day.

We encourage you to take part in this transitional time as well.

Yours in health and wellness,

Shasta Sleep Services

Foods to Eat for a Good Night's Sleep

Foods to Eat for a Good Night's Sleep

Looking up good foods for sleep, we’ve found an overlap in the advice and found some foods to help you sleep.

There are five main chemicals that come up when you try to find sleep-friendly foods. Melatonin is the first, the one that regulates when our body prepares for sleep. Tryptophan is processed into Serotonin and then turned into Melatonin. Calcium helps the brain use tryptophan and B6 helps the conversion of it. Last of all, Magnesium works to deactivate our adrenaline and relax us.

Fortunately, there are plenty of foods with these chemicals!
