CINCINNATI — Just in time for National Sleep Week, ZzzQuil is on a mission to help people achieve ‘Better Sleep in 1-2-Zzz’. In this increasingly stressful and ambiguous time in the world, the act of doing has taken reign, and everyday health – especially sleep – has been deprioritized. ZzzQuil believes that a good night’s sleep is key to a great morning and is here to help people achieve it, even as day-to-day demands increase.

“We know life gets busy and it’s not always possible to get 8 hours of sleep a night, but ZzzQuil’s ‘Better Sleep in 1-2-Zzz’ is designed to provide tools to help people get the sleep they want and need,” says Ilonka Laviz, Vicks Franchise, North America vice president. “Each week, we are sharing ways for people to implement healthy sleep hygiene improvements such as setting a consistent sleep schedule, developing a relaxing bedtime routine, or trying a sleep aid like ZzzQuil to achieve Better Sleep in 1-2-Zzz.”

For those who want to improve the quality of their sleep but may have questions about taking a sleep aid, ZzzQuil is busting sleep myths like the use of supplements and is educating people on sleep’s impact on health. Influential voices across social media will share their sleep stories and encourage consumers to get #BetterSleepin12Zzz.

Sleep is essential to your health and wellness. While the average adult should sleep for 7-8 hours, sleep is often deprioritized in favor of more caffeine. Long-term effects of severe sleep deprivation can put people at risk for health issues such as weight gain, memory loss, irritability, anxiety, depression and more. When you use a sleep aid like ZzzQuil, people can give their bodies the rest it needs for overall wellness*.

Examples of myths ZzzQuil is busting and fact-checking include, but are not limited to:

• What’s more important, sleep quantity or quality?
• Is more melatonin better for a restful night?
• Is a sleep aid habit forming?

ZzzQuil encourages consumers to focus on the little changes that will greatly impact their sleep hygiene and prepare their mind and body for bedtime. Visit https://www.zzzquil.com/en-us for more information on the ZzzQuil family of products that can help you get #BetterSleepin12Zzz.
