FAQ:
Why do I keep waking up around 3 a.m.?
Doctors often link this timing to stress hormones like cortisol, blood sugar changes, or difficulty fully relaxing the nervous system during deep sleep cycles.
Can this drink cure insomnia?
No—this is not a medical treatment. It’s a supportive bedtime ritual that may help promote relaxation and better sleep quality when paired with healthy sleep habits.
Is it safe to drink every night?
For most people, yes. However, if you’re pregnant, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare provider first.
How long before bed should I drink it?
About 30 to 60 minutes before sleep is ideal.
What else helps prevent waking up at night?
Consistent sleep times, limiting caffeine, reducing late-night screen use, and managing stress all play a major role.
