(NewsUSA) - It's 3 a.m. and you're still awake. As you lie in bed and attempt to drift off, you can't stop thinking about the day ahead - your early morning meeting, those bills you need to pay or your growing e-mail inbox.

The stress of everyday life can have an enormous impact on the quality and amount of sleep that you get (or don't get) each night. Eight hours of uninterrupted, quality shut-eye is the cornerstone of feeling refreshed and well-rested.

When under stress, however, our bodies produce cortisol, known as the stress hormone. High cortisol levels can reduce the quality of your sleep or even make you lose sleep altogether, leaving you feeling groggy and tired the next day.

To reduce cortisol levels and combat sleeplessness, you can look to a new supplement, Soothing Sleep, available through Life Fitness, a leader in fitness equipment and provider of advanced vitamin and supplement solutions.

Soothing Sleep is the first natural, non-prescription, non-habit-forming sleep aid, which helps reduce cortisol by 75 percent the first night. This supplement reduces stress and relaxes the body, providing better-quality sleep without producing that "unconscious" feeling in the morning.

Natural ingredients such as L-theanine and ashwaghandha in Soothing Sleep calm the central nervous system, helping to increase relaxation and improve sleep. Users find that they wake up feeling refreshed and well-rested, with no groggy side effect.

Soothing Sleep is available in a 28-day supply at CVS/pharmacy stores and http://www.cvs.com.

In addition to Soothing Sleep, Life Fitness also provides health products such as uniquely formulated vitamins and nutritional supplements, analgesic pain-relieving patches, foot care shoe inserts and blood-pressure monitors.
