Why does it work?

• Tart cherry juice has a high concentration of melatonin — the hormone that induces drowsiness at bedtime - and researchers are investigating other nutrients in tart cherry juice, such as tryptophan and polyphenol antioxidants, that might play a role in supporting sleep.
• Magnesium promotes relaxation, and it’s also involved in regulating melatonin, which guides your sleep-wake cycle and kickstarts the feeling of sleepiness. It also helps regulate the stress hormone cortisol, so when you have adequate magnesium, you may have fewer physical and mental symptoms of stress.
• CBN + CBD Oil helps you fall asleep, and stay asleep. CBN is the cannabinoid in the hemp plant that helps promote restful sleep. CBD helps calm your body and mind so that you are ready to sleep without uncomfortable mental or physical symptoms. The combination of the two work with your natural sleep cycle to provide quality sleep with no grogginess in the morning.
• Seltzer water provides some bubbles and adds interest to the mocktail!
