Ultimate Melatonin-Based Sleep Aid

How Deactivate Helps

When it comes to workout performance or accomplishing your day's goals, quality sleep is critical for better muscle recovery, more strength and size, and more effective fat burning. With the magnesium, suntheanine extract, and 2mg of melatonin in this sleep aid supplement, you will rest soundly and reap rewards of proper recovery. When DEACTIVATE is taken an hour before bed, you will feel your busy mind begin to quiet down, allowing you to relax once you lay down, creating a perfect mental and physical state to achieve deep sleep.

With continued use, DEACTIVATE will allow you to better balance your sleep and wake homestasis, as well as follow the natural cycle of your circadian biological clock, resulting in more energy during your day and better deep sleep at night.

Sleep Regulation

Sleep is regulated by two body systems: sleep and wake homeostasis, and the circadian biological clock. Sleep and wake homeostasis is what tells us that the need for sleep is accumulating after being awake for several hours. It also allows us to stay asleep throughout the night to make up for the hours being awake. It is what creates a drive that balances being asleep or being awake.

Our circadian biological clock regulates the timing of periods of wakefulness and sleepiness throughout the day. It dips and rises at various times of day, determined by whether you are a "morning person" or a "night person". These dips are more intense when we are sleep deprived, explaining why it can feel so difficult to power through an afternoon following a night of interrupted or poor sleep.

Sleep’s Effect On Muscle Recovery & Appetite Control

Hormones are greatly affected by sleep. The pituitary gland, also known as the "master" endocrine organ that controls the secretion of other hormones from the peripheral endocrine glands, is heavily influenced by sleep. During sleep, hypothalamic-releasing or inhibiting factors may affect how well the pituitary gland can communicate to either release or inhibit growth hormone. Growth hormone is responsible for recovery when it comes to muscle mass.

Sleep also affects the endocrine system through the nervous system activity during sleep. The sympathetic nervous system's activity typically decreases and the parasympathetic nervous system activity increases. Endocrine organs are sensitive to changes in this balance. If sleep loss occurs, a process like pancreatic insulin secretion can be thrown off. The secretion of insulin is released by fat cells of leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone, and can have affects on your appetite after loosing sleep. Though daunting, these impacts of loss of quality sleep are not long term and can be reversed in one or two nights of deep sleep.

One hormone that is greatly influenced by sleep is cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone, and the concentration of cortisol generally decreases at a rapid pace at the end of the day, shortly before habitual bedtime. The night following a night of interrupted sleep will slow cortisol concentration by approximately 6 times. Elevations of evening cortisol levels from chronic lack of sleep are likely to cause the development of insulin resistance, a risk factor for diabetes and obesity.
