How 8hours Works
Sleep
Not all sleep is made equal. We go through different stages of sleep and while every stage has its unique purpose, deep and REM sleep, in particular, host the majority of physical and mental advantages. While an optimal sleep pattern generally includes 1,5-2 hours of deep sleep and 1,5-2,5 hours of REM sleep, factors like age and individuality introduce variability.
Magnesium supports the body’s natural processes for relaxation and muscle function, while L-theanine promotes a calm and balanced state of mind, both contributing to a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.
In straightforward terms, latency simply denotes the time it takes to fall asleep.
A sleep latency between 10 and 20 minutes is generally considered normal, but can vary per individual.
Compounds like L-theanine, Apigenin and Magnesium are known to support relaxation, which may help unwind before bedtime. Montmorency cherry extract contains natural melatonin which plays a role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, supporting a balanced transition from wakefulness to sleep.
Sleep efficiency is a metric that gauges the proportion of time spent asleep relative to the total time spent in bed, expressed mathematically as sleep efficiency = time asleep / time in bed. A sleep efficiency of 85% and above is typically considered normal.
Myo-inositol supports relaxation during the night, helping maintain a balanced sleep cycle, while apigenin and L-theanine contribute to a smoother transition into sleep, complementing efforts to achieve optimal sleep efficiency.
Restfulness encompasses the subjective sensation of feeling refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated following a sleep period. Resting heart rate and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) serve as two indicators associated with restfulness, with lower resting heart rate and higher HRV generally indicating a better state of rest, although both measures exhibit considerable individual variability.
Magnesium supports normal muscle relaxation and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, while myo-inositol complements this by promoting a calm and balanced state of mind, contributing to a sense of overall restfulness.
Recovery
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy 'currency' in cells. ATP provides the energy needed for muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and other cellular functions vital for repairing and replenishing tissues after physical exertion, contributing to overall recovery from exercise or stress.
Magnesium is an essential element contributing to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological function, and normal muscle function.
One of the most important factors of recovery is how efficiently your body can fight the inflammation induced by the physical activity.
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and helps reduce tiredness, while L-theanine supports relaxation, complementing recovery efforts.
Tart cherry extract is valued by elite athletes for its role in supporting recovery and maintaining balance after exercise. Both tart cherry extract and apigenin are known for their antioxidant properties, helping the body protect itself against oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals.
The endurance and recovery capacity during physical strain are intricately tied to the flow of blood and oxygen to muscles.
Tart cherry extract is widely appreciated for its role in supporting recovery and maintaining normal blood flow, complementing efforts to sustain endurance and physical performance.

Healthy joints and bones can help your body recover efficiently from physical strain.
Magnesium plays an essential role in supporting normal bone structure and mineralization. Tart cherry extract is widely recognized for its association with maintaining joint health, complementing your body's recovery efforts.
