We’ve heard it all…from mouth taping to sound machines, and even face strapping – the trend has caused so much internet buzz it’s earned itself the title of “sleepmaxxing”.
If you’ve recently partaken in a spot of TikTok doom scrolling, you may be familiar with the extreme efforts some are making in the hopes of a “morning shed” – another TikTok fad involving some seriously intense night-time rituals.
Kicking off the “sleepmaxxing” trend was the concept of the “sleepy girl mocktail” as shared by content creator Gracie Norton back in 2023. Since then, the video has piqued the interest of 1.5 million intrigued viewers. But why does the “sleepy girl mocktail” deserve the hype you may be wondering?
Similar to sipping an iced latte on a hot summers morning, the mocktail, including a dash of tart cherry juice and magnesium makes for a true selfcare night-time experience.
While a fun concept, preparing a night-time mocktail every evening is unrealistic. Luckily Swisse have stepped in with the Swisse Sleep Range working to support a restful night’s sleep.
Preparing for a restful night’s sleep
We don’t know about you, but come night-time we crave those seven-hours of uninterrupted sleep. What we don’t crave, however, is the struggle of drifting off.
While taking precautionary measures like closing down the screens, practising breath work, and taking a warm shower can help, a trusty supplement can really speed up the process.
Similar to the “sleepy girl mocktail”, the Swisse Sleep Range promotes a restful slumber using a combination of traditional western medicines and herbal additives.
The lowdown on the Swisse Sleep Range
In order to fall asleep and actually stay asleep, your body and brain need to be relaxed. So, when it comes to regulating your muscles and nervous system, Magnesium and natural remedies like chamomile and passionflower are a must.
The many ways to Swisse your way to sleep
Luckily for us, the Swisse Sleep Range extends to everything from oral drops, to drinking powder, chewy gummies, and even the OG Magnesium tablet.
If it is the “sleepy girl mocktail” approach that is most intriguing to you, then embrace tranquillity with the Swisse Ultraboost Magnesium + Sleep powder. This expertly crafted lemon and honey flavoured formula actively eases muscle tension, helping alleviate cramps and spasms.
Taking a similar calming approach, the Swisse Ultiboost Calm + Sleep Gummies explores relaxation by way of the passionflower. Free of Magnesium, these berry-flavoured gummies use Vitamin B5 to support a healthy stress response.
For an efficient alternative, the Swisse Ultiboost Saffron + Sleep Drops comes in a liquid-based formula that is more rapidly absorbed when compared to the tablet alternative. Free of magnesium, the formula has been crafted with saffron extract, hops, and passionflower, reducing symptoms of stress and enhancing the quality of sleep.
Of course, if you aren’t looking for anything other than a standard sleeping pill, the Swisse Sleep Range caters to those with a preference for Magnesium tablets or Magensium-free coated tablets.
Ensure to read the label of any supplements you are taking and consult with your doctor first.
