Ever had one of those evenings when you get all of your daily steps in just returning your little one to bed over and over again? Been forced to remove devices to put a stop to midnight game playing. Or make expensive deals just to ensure a week of reasonable bedtimes?

Kids who cannot switch off

When you really think about it, our children are bombarded with non-stop information from the time they wake until the moment you switch off their bedroom light. It is not just school lessons and homework but learning to navigate the tempestuous waters of new friendships, taking in everything they see on television, read in books and are bombarded with in computer games.

They have argued with siblings, sampled a whole new cuisine, heard three new and baffling words and learnt that Africa exists and kangaroos keep their babies in a pouch. All in a single day. It is more than most adults experience in a year. So it is no wonder that so many kids find it difficult to simply close their eyes and drift off the moment we tell them they should.

That is where Holland & Barrett Nighttime Gummies for Kids come in. These yummy, gentle gummies contain ashwagandha to help whirring brains to wind down as well as cherry extract.

How ashwagandha can help

Used for many hundreds of years, ashwagandha is one of the Ayurvedic system’s most important herbs. But this handy natural plant extract, sometimes called Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is not just for dedicated yogis.

Its ability to promote mental relaxation and support overall wellbeing can prove useful for children struggling at night to wind down. On-going studies have shown that ashwagandha helps many people gain a restful night as well as helping them feel more alert in the morning. Further research is required to validate these proposed health claims.
