MNI Sleepvance Kids 30 Tabs

SleepVance Kids is a chewable tablet developed by the Medical Nutritional Institute for children from 8 years who struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep. Its Somnum blend combines valerian root, passionflower, L-theanine, glycine and inositol with magnesium, zinc, vitamin D3 and active folate. It contains no melatonin and no sedative medicine. By improving sleep quality and duration it also helps with the daytime irritability, poor concentration and restlessness that follow a bad night. Valerian root increases the availability of GABA, the brain's main calming neurotransmitter, which shortens the time it takes to fall asleep and improves sleep quality without morning grogginess or dependence. Passionflower has a gentle anxiolytic effect through the GABA system and is traditionally used for nervous restlessness and difficulty falling asleep. L-theanine, an amino acid from green tea, promotes relaxed alpha brain waves and takes the edge off stress without causing drowsiness.

A child who sleeps badly does not just wake up tired. They struggle to concentrate, their mood is short and schoolwork suffers. Deep sleep is when growth hormone is released and the day's learning is consolidated, so improving a child's sleep improves almost everything else.
