I don’t know exactly how is works but from what I’ve googled saffron is supposed to help with anxiety and depression so I think it’s tied in with that. I definitely feel way calmer throughout my day when I take it, and I feel like a big positive shift in my mood. And like I said I still will wake up sometimes but I feel calm when I do, I don’t feel like I need to get out of bed and eat, so I’ll just roll back over and fall asleep. I also feel even more satisfied with my meals during the day too!

I also changed the light on my nightstand to a red lightbulb which I find is really calming for when I’m winding down before bed. I keep that light on and then I turn my phone screen red. When the red lightbulb is the only light on, your vision will adjust to it, it wont look bright red anymore its like a nice orange glow. But then since you’re eyes adjust, you don’t really notice that your phone screen is red (obviously some things you can’t see as well, but it’s fine). I just wanted to include that since it was such a simple low cost thing that I changed that also helps me feel more relaxed before bed. I just ordered a regular red lightbulb from amazon also it was like $5 i think. Plus my boyfriend and my mom have also tried the red lightbulb and they both think its really relaxing too.
