Tag: Sleepy time tea

Sleepytime tea, a popular herbal blend introduced in 1972 by Celestial Seasonings, has become a global bedtime ritual. The primary active compound responsible for its calming effect is apigenin, found in the delicate and floral chamomile that is the main ingredient in sleepy time tea. This tea is more than just a single herb, it's a symphony of botanicals designed to help you unwind and prepare for rest.

According to a study published in the *Journal of Pineal Research*, raw honey contains a small amount of naturally occurring melatonin, a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. This sweet discovery confirms what many have long suspected: you can safely and effectively put honey in your sleepy time tea to create a calming and potentially sleep-enhancing beverage.

According to the National Institutes of Health, adequate sleep is a crucial factor in maintaining a healthy weight by influencing hormones that regulate appetite. While Sleepy Time tea is a popular beverage for relaxation, it's important to understand what role, if any, it plays in your quest to lose weight.
