How to sleep an hour longer: expert shares scientifically-proven practices

Based on scientific research, sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo has developed her own method that allows you to sleep an hour longer. She claims that the body needs Omega-3 for this.

On her Instagram page, the consultant posted a video in which she listed ten easy steps for a good night's sleep. Her methods are based on inner harmony and supplements. In particular, Omega-3. According to Arezzolo, this component promotes sleepiness and reduces anxiety.

"A recent study has shown that Omega-3 supplements can help a person sleep an hour longer. They reduce anxiety by 20% as a deficiency of this component can contribute to a lack of melatonin, the hormone of sleepiness," the consultant says.
