With the hustle and bustle of modern life, quality sleep often gets compromised. At Cherrish, we're passionate about promoting better sleep naturally with the aid of Montmorency tart cherries, a rare natural source of melatonin. Initial research points towards the potential benefits of tart cherries on sleep duration, quality, and efficiency, giving hope to those struggling with insomnia or seeking better sleep quality.

The Importance of Quality Sleep

Sleep is more than just "beauty rest". Quality sleep plays a pivotal role in your overall health and wellness. Insufficient sleep is not just about fatigue or irritability; it has been associated with serious health concerns like weight gain and cardiovascular disease. It's no wonder that achieving better sleep has become a public health priority. And that's where Montmorency tart cherries come into the picture.

The Science Behind Tart Cherries and Sleep

Although more studies are required to fully understand the relationship between tart cherries and sleep, early findings are promising.

Sleep Duration

A pilot study at Louisiana State University discovered that Montmorency tart cherry juice extended sleep time by 84 minutes. Participants in this study, who were healthy individuals aged 50 and older with chronic insomnia, consumed around 8 ounces of Montmorency tart cherry juice twice a day for 14 days. The results showed a remarkable 84-minute increase in sleep duration compared to the placebo group.

Sleep Quality and Efficiency

In a randomized, double-blind study involving 20 men and women with no reported sleep disturbances, participants consumed either 2 servings of Montmorency tart cherry juice concentrate or a placebo beverage for 7 days. The tart cherry group slept about 40 minutes longer on average and saw up to a 6% increase in sleep efficiency compared to the placebo group. An increase in circulating blood melatonin levels was also observed.

Insomnia

A pilot study involving 15 older adults with chronic insomnia found significant improvements in the Insomnia Severity Index and a 62-minute improvement in wake time after sleep onset. Participants consumed two 8-ounce servings of Montmorency tart cherry juice daily for 2 weeks. Significant improvements were reported on all self-reported sleep variables compared to a placebo drink.
