A few questions, answered
Will it make me groggy the next morning?
It's non-sedative by design, and "no groggy feeling" is one of the most repeated lines in the reviews.*
What if I wake up at 3 a.m.?
It's made for unwanted wakefulness too.* Take 3mL in a small amount of water, and repeat the dose if needed. The pump bottle is easy to use in the dark.
How does it taste?
Like an herbal tincture. A small amount of water, juice or tea helps, and once you're used to it you can take it directly.
Can I take it with my medications?
If you have a medical condition or take medications, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. It's for ages 12+ and not for use while pregnant or nursing; we make Sleepy Nights for Pregnancy and for Kids.
Sleepy nights. Fresh mornings.
