Do you advise Ashwagandha cycling?
Do you advise Ashwagandha cycling?
Ashwagandha is one of the most well-studied adaptogens, and a hero ingredient in our Better Night formulation. It helps to calm the nervous system, reduce cortisol levels, and improve sleep quality which is particularly helpful during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal changes can disrupt your ability to rest.
But like many natural therapies, your body can get used to it.
If you've been taking Better Night consistently for 4 to 6 months, you might benefit from a short 2 to 4 week break. This allows your body to "reset" and can help you regain that sense of calm and improved sleep that you felt when you first started.
This is known as cycling. - Why might you cycle Ashwagandha?
- Avoiding tolerance: Although Ashwagandha doesn’t typically cause dependence, regular use over months can reduce its noticeable effects. A short break can restore its efficacy.
- Supporting receptor sensitivity: Adaptogens like Ashwagandha act on the HPA axis (your stress-response system). Cycling helps keep your body responsive, rather than desensitised.
- Sustaining long-term benefits: Taking breaks may help Ashwagandha continue to deliver calming and sleep-supporting effects, especially during hormonally volatile times like perimenopause and menopause.
You may still sleep well during the break, especially if you're also using other supportive habits (such as a consistent bedtime, magnesium, and blue-light reduction). Once you resume Better Night, many women report that the benefits feel stronger again, like pressing the "reset" button for your nervous system.
