Overview

• The 'Sleepy Girl Mocktail' is a viral trend that suggests a mix of tart cherry juice, powdered magnesium supplement, and soda water can improve sleep quality.
• Tart cherry juice has been shown in clinical trials to improve sleep quality and quantity, potentially due to the presence of melatonin, a sleep-promoting hormone.
• Magnesium supplements have been shown to improve sleep outcomes, but the optimal dosage for sleep benefits is still unknown.
• Drinking fluids close to bedtime can disrupt sleep as it might lead to waking during the night to urinate, and carbonated beverages can trigger digestive symptoms.
• Experts suggest trying the 'Sleepy Girl Mocktail' two hours before bedtime and consistently as part of a balanced diet, but caution against consuming too much magnesium and adding sugar.
