Slept, but woke up foggy

At 6:30 AM a woman sits on the edge of her bed, her head lost in a dense grey cloud, an alarm clock and a jar of gummies on the nightstand
Even low dose melatonin makes me loopy, and then groggy the whole next day.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.Here’s what that gummy really does between 9:30 PM and your alarm.

Melatonin tells your body when. It doesn’t tell your mind to slow down.

9:30 PM
At 9:30 PM she takes a gummy from a jar on the nightstand
You take the gummy.Sleep experts call melatonin a “darkness signal”: it tells your body it’s time to be sleepy.
11:00 PM
At 11:00 PM she lies awake while ribbons of light tangle above her head
Your mind is still running.Sleep researchers call it hyperarousal: a busy mind keeps the body on alert (Riemann et al., 2010).
6:30 AM
At 6:30 AM she sits up tired, a hand on her forehead, as the alarm rings
Up, but not quite rested.So tomorrow night, maybe a bigger dose.

A signal, not a sleeping pill. On average, melatonin helps people fall asleep about 7 minutes faster.

Before you reach for another gummy, there’s a gentler way to end the day.

More melatonin won’t quiet a busy mind. A slower evening can.

Cozy Moon does the opposite: no melatonin, just a simple evening ritual for mornings that feel like yours.
