Night Snooze Melatonin-free Sleep Powder

A melatonin-free sleep supplement in powder sachets. You stir one 8g sachet into a mug of hot, but not boiling, water to make a warm sour cherry bedtime drink, about an hour before bed. Each sachet carries ten ingredients: magnesium, vitamin B5, three amino acids (glycine, L-tryptophan, L-theanine) and five plant extracts (Montmorency sour cherry, lemon balm, chamomile, ashwagandha, orange bioflavonoids). Chamomile contributes to a healthy sleep, supports quality of sleep and supports relaxation. It's a food supplement, not a sedative or a sleeping tablet.

Night Snooze is made for nightly use: one sachet each evening, about an hour before bed, and no more than one. It contains no melatonin. If you take medication, are under medical supervision, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your GP first.

One sachet gives 375mg of magnesium, 100% of the daily reference intake, as magnesium malate. Taken as directed, one a night, that's the intended use; count it alongside any other magnesium you take. Magnesium from supplements can loosen the stomach in some people at higher amounts, which is one reason the direction is one sachet. Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.

It carries a full day's magnesium in every mug, 375mg, so if you're looking for magnesium in an evening drink, yes. Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. And it carries chamomile: Chamomile contributes to a healthy sleep, supports quality of sleep and supports relaxation.

Magnesium malate, giving 375mg of elemental magnesium per sachet. The elemental figure is the one to compare between products; whichever form a powder uses, it's the milligrams of magnesium that count.

Night Snooze gives 3,000mg of glycine a night, an amount that suits a powder sachet rather than a capsule, taken as one sachet a day. Glycine is an amino acid found in food, including collagen and gelatine. If you take medication or have a medical condition, ask your GP or pharmacist before starting.

Night Snooze is melatonin-free, as the pack says.

Compare four things: what's in it and at what amounts, whether the amounts are on the pack, whether it's a format you'll keep up with, and the cautions. Night Snooze is ten ingredients at stated amounts, 3,000mg glycine and 375mg magnesium among them, in a warm drink you make rather than a tablet you swallow.

Night Snooze is a food supplement, not a sedative, and it contains no melatonin. It's taken about an hour before bed as a warm drink. How anyone feels the next day varies, so if you have any concerns, speak to your GP or pharmacist.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist first. This matters in particular if you take antidepressants or other medicines that act on serotonin, any sedative medication, or thyroid medication, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Night Snooze contains chamomile, so avoid it if you're allergic to plants in the daisy family, such as ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds. Keep to one sachet a day.

Each sachet contains 200mg of ashwagandha root extract. Ashwagandha isn't recommended in pregnancy or when breastfeeding, and anyone on thyroid medication, sedatives or antidepressants should ask their GP before taking it. Keep to the one-sachet direction.

A warm sour cherry drink, coloured with beetroot and carrot and sweetened with sucralose rather than sugar. Empty one sachet into a mug, add hot but not boiling water, and stir well until it dissolves. Drink it about an hour before bed.

Amounts and habit. A tablet or capsule holds a few hundred milligrams, so 3,000mg of glycine would mean a handful of them; a sachet you dissolve carries over 5,000mg in one mug. And a warm drink already has a place in an evening, which a tablet doesn't.

Chamomile contributes to a healthy sleep, supports quality of sleep and supports relaxation. Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance. Glycine, L-tryptophan, L-theanine, sour cherry, lemon balm, ashwagandha and orange bioflavonoids are listed with their exact amounts. The full nutrient-by-nutrient list is under Read the Box.

One you'll make every night without thinking about it, that has no caffeine and no sugar. Night Snooze is a warm sour cherry drink with ten ingredients at stated amounts, sugar-free and melatonin-free, made in a mug about an hour before bed.

Vegan, sugar-free and sweetened with sucralose, coloured with beetroot and carrot. No declared allergens; it does contain chamomile, which people allergic to the daisy family should avoid.

Speak to your GP first. It contains ashwagandha and chamomile, and the pack says to consult your GP if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Adults. It is not for children, and it should be kept out of their sight and reach.

Add up the magnesium across everything you take; Night Snooze gives 375mg, a full day's reference intake on its own, so you probably don't need a separate magnesium on the same night. A multivitamin's B5 adds to the 7.5mg here; ask a pharmacist if the totals worry you.

The box lasts twenty nights, and the refund covers the first thirty days; form your view when the box is empty. If you regularly struggle with sleep, that's a conversation for your GP rather than a sachet.
