The Best Natural Sleep Aids
WiredLush’s Bath/Shower Set for $8-$40: I tested many products from Lush aimed at sleep—they have an extensive line of Sleepy products intended for shower, bath, and getting ready before bed. MoonBrew Hot Cocoa for $43: Like the mushroom-based Alice Chocolate on this list, MoonBrew Hot Cocoa uses a blend of superfoods like reishi fungi to slowly nurture your body’s natural sleep cycles, rather than an addition like melatonin that aids in immediate help with insomnia. In addition to reishi, the cocoa has other familiar heavy sleep-inducing hitters, like L-theanine; a magnesium blend; and chamomile, lavender, and zinc to promote relaxation and a deeper sleep. Numi Sweet Slumber Tea for $10: This tasty organic herbal tea uses familiar natural ingredients thought to help with relaxation, with an herbal blend of chamomile, lavender, lemon balm leaf, and licorice root. This didn’t make me immediately drowsy like others on this list, but it was helpful for relaxation before bed—this nice warm cup of tea brought the cozy vibes.
