Anyone who has experienced the frustration of a sleepless night, waking up feeling dreadful the next morning, understands the significance of quality slumber. Sleep is vital for recuperation, bolstering the immune system, maintaining heart health, enhancing cognitive abilities, and more, yet many people are not getting sufficient rest.
Individuals grappling with sleep issues have probably explored the array of sleep aids available on the market, but it can be difficult to discern which products are genuinely beneficial and which are more like expensive confectionery. However, now there's an opportunity to test out Protein Works' Sleep Deep supplement, currently on offer at £11.99, reduced from its usual price of £19.99, to discover if its scientifically-supported composition can aid in achieving that much-needed rest.
The Sleep Deep supplement boasts calming botanical extracts like lemon balm, lavender, and chamomile, alongside crucial minerals such as magnesium, which contribute to reducing tiredness the following day. The pivotal component is L-Tryptophan, an amino acid instrumental in the production of serotonin, often referred to as the 'feel good chemical' in the brain, and melatonin, the hormone responsible for signalling to the body when it's time to wind down.

Kyle Crowley, Chief Product Officer at Protein Works, elaborates on the product's development: "We designed Sleep Deep around the real science of sleep," he explains.
"It's not just to help people fall asleep faster, but to support the deeper sleep stages that truly restore your body and brain. One of the key ingredients is L-Tryptophan, which helps the body produce serotonin and melatonin. These are both essential for sleep quality and mood regulation," reports the Liverpool Echo.

These two dog breeds are in danger due to health problems

These two dog breeds are in danger due to health problems There is a new top dog on the list as some of the most popular breeds fall out of flavour due to concerns A third preferred the face of a cockapoo over other breeds when given a choice (Image: Getty Images/iStockphoto ) People appear to be falling out of love with flat-faced dogs as awareness grows about the health problems of pugs and French bulldogs. Research conducted for Burns Pet Nutrition suggested the new designer dog of choice is the cockapoo. The crossbreeds topped a poll of 2,000 dog-lovers who were asked to select their favourite face of a pooch. ‌ A third preferred the face of a cockapoo over other breeds when given a choice – while just a handful opted for French bulldogs (6%) and pugs (4%). ‌ Huskies were the second most popular breed, with their face chosen by a fifth of respondents while Staffordshire bull terriers were the third at 15%. The findings follow a Frenchie winning the Utility Group at Crufts this year – a result that left many dog-lovers unhappy that a breed with many known health problems claimed the title. French bulldogs are predisposed to problems with their eyes, skin, bones and breathing, and pugs are equally associated with a raft of health issues. A poll in June last year placed Frenchies joint top of the table with Cockapoos as the nation's favourite breed. Article continues below But the new research suggests the popularity of flat-faced breeds could now be on the decline. Laura Crotch-Harvey, Nutrition Manager at Burns Pet Nutrition said: "While they may look very cute, in reality French bulldogs and other flat-nose breeds can be prone to more medical issues than the majority of breeds. "The majority of these problems have been made worse by backyard breeders and people who don't health test – but there are many good breeders who do care and do health test their dogs. "If you're considering bringing a dog into your home, make sure you do your research on the breed and the breeder, ensuring they are health tested. ‌ "And it's also vital to make sure you have the funds for any medical conditions that may not be covered by your pet insurance. "This is commonplace with short-nose breeds. When it comes to crossbreeds, unlike pedigrees, where you know what type of coat, temperament and mental stimulation your dog needs, it can be more of a gamble with what you get. "The temperament of a cocker spaniel is very different to that of a poodle. Article continues below "However, mixing breeds together has its benefits. Crossbreed dogs can be healthier as they are not as likely to be bred just for their appearance. Moving towards breeding for health and not the appearance of the dog is what we want in an ideal world. "When considering getting a crossbreed puppy or dog, it is important to do your homework on both breeds and be prepared for the best or worst of both to make sure it suits your lifestyle, and you can cater to that dog's needs. "It's essential to thoroughly research any breeds and consult with breeders and rescue centres to find the most suitable dog for you."
