How has your experience with melatonin been?

My first encounter with melatonin was through ZzzQuil NATURA gummies. While I was in Europe, I used to consume these gummies whenever I used to face sleeplessness, occasionally. The combination of melatonin and Vitamin B6 in the gummy helped me fall asleep faster and wake up absolutely regenerated to take on the day.

Sleep quality should never be sacrificed. So here are my secrets to my beauty sleep:

One-night ritual that you cannot miss?

My night-time routine changes depending on how I’m feeling that particular night.  If I want to treat myself to some extra-special self-care, I typically use a face mask that is quite hydrating and then lie on my bed for a while to let it do its magic. At times, I also try to avoid using any technology devices at night. But one ritual that I cannot miss is preparing myself a cup of warm chamomile tea and reading a few chapters of a self-help book. Gummies with melatonin also is an integral part of my sleep schedule to fix my circadian rhythms after long hours of shooting night shifts.

In your busy schedule, how important do you think is sleep?

As I juggle my responsibilities as an actress, a businesswoman, and a new mother, I’m aware of the necessity to adjust my sleep routine. While I’ve always tried to emphasise sleep in my life, I will admit that I have a complicated relationship with sleep. On some days, especially on the days when I’m feeling down, I can’t sleep at all, while on other days, especially on work-off days, I can sleep for several hours straight. Regularly having trouble getting enough sleep, especially if you’re a professional like me, can have several negative effects, including making you feel grumpy the next day. I’m now aware of how much I took my sleep for granted as a new mother with demanding work and I believe getting quality sleep is super crucial for anyone’s wellbeing.

Do you recommend using Zzzquil to anybody facing occasional sleeplessness?

I first learnt about ZzzQuil NATURA a few years ago in Europe. I’m pleased Vicks ZzzQuil NATURA is now available in India, and I absolutely recommend it because it makes it simpler for those like me who have a lot going on to manage our sleep schedule. Vicks has always been a part and parcel of my life right from my childhood, and I am very pleased that Vicks has now entered the sleep category. As I get back to my fitness regime this gummies will support me in regulating my sleep to unlock my best self.
