“I’ve had a rough couple of years with everything that’s been going on, and for me it’s more about getting to sleep,” she explains. “I use a time-release supplement, which helps me fall asleep and avoid waking up at 3 a.m. But especially in the last six months—with all kinds of things going on, like crossing time zones, losing parents, and managing crazy kids” schedules—it really helps calm my mind .”

“For me, it’s about not waking up in the morning feeling groggy when you haven’t slept,” Sims continues. “It’s really important to me that everything I use is drug-free, so there’s no risk of addiction. As you get older, you start to worry about it. It’s not just about sleep, it’s ultimately about living longer and feeling your best. ”
