A Sip to Sweet Dreams…

Are you struggling to unwind after a long day? Maybe you find yourself tossing and turning at night. Life can at times leave us feeling stressed and unable to switch off when it’s time to rest. However, there might be a simple solution.

The Sleepy Girl Mocktail has gone viral on social media platforms. It claims to help you relax, unwind, and promote a sense of calmness. The drink is designed to alleviate stress and anxiety and make sleeping a good night easier. The two key ingredients in this drink are magnesium glycinate and tart cherry juice.

Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that is bound to the amino acid glycine. It plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters involved in sleep, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Supplementing with magnesium glycinate can also promote muscle relaxation, regulation of the body’s internal clock, and stress reduction which all contribute to better sleep quality and a more relaxed state of mind. Beyond its role in promoting sleep, magnesium is involved in numerous physiological processes such as promoting bone health and cardiovascular function. 

Studies suggest that consuming tart cherry juice leads to longer sleep by increasing the melatonin available in the body. Melatonin is a sleep hormone and tryptophan helps produce melatonin in the body. Additional benefits of drinking tart cherry juice are muscle recovery, reduced pain and blood pressure, improved memory and brain health, and cancer prevention.

So if you’re ready to transform your evenings, why not whip up a sleepy girl mocktail tonight? Take a moment to unwind, sip slowly, and feel the stresses of the day melt away. Your mind, body, and sleep cycle will thank you for it!
