The expert-approved drink to help you sleep
Approximately one-third of adults aren’t getting the amount of sleep we require when the weather gets warmer, but ‘The Sleepy Girl Mocktail’ may be able to help.
Originally shared by creator Gracie Norton, her TikTok video showcasing the mocktail recipe has garnered over 1 million views and over 100 thousand likes. If you’re curious to experience the potential benefits for yourself and inch closer to that coveted eight hours of sleep or more, here’s how to make it:
- Ice
- Pure tart cherry juice
- 1 tablespoon of magnesium powder
- Lemon flavoured soda or sparkling water
THE BENEFITS
The Tart Cherry: Tart cherry juice is known to contain melatonin, a sleep hormone often taken as a supplement to aid with sleep. The hypothesis is that incorporating this juice into your bedtime routine may augment the melatonin your body naturally produces, meaning a quicker transition into sleep.
The Magnesium: Research indicates that magnesium supplementation can be effective in addressing primary insomnia, impacting sleep duration.
