Here's How to Make The 'Sleepy Girl Mocktail' That's Taking The World By Storm

There is a drink making the rounds on TikTok, and people are swearing that it helps with sleep.

I’m willing to try just about anything. I sleep like 2 hours at a time, get up for 2 hours, sleep for two hours — repeat, repeat, repeat.

It sucks.

If this drink works, by dang it, I’m trying it!!

The drink in question is called the “Sleepy Girl Mocktail,” and it was first posted by Calee Shea in January.

However, it is making the rounds again, and going super viral. It might just be time to hop on this bandwagon.

Pure tart cherry juice + magnesium is a match made in heaven.

First of all, it is supposed to taste super amazing.

That tart cherry juice is mixed with magnesium and some sort of fizzy drink — prebiotic soda, seltzer water, sprite, whatever floats your boat — and it’s supposedly to. die. for.

Tart cherry juice has a high concentration of melatonin — the hormone that induces drowsiness at bedtime.

The magnesium also plays a strong role in helping you fall asleep — I actually learned that in Nursing School.

Magnesium helps regulate cortisol — a stress hormone.

Ever feel panicky and stressed out at night? Try some magnesium.

It is important to note, you should always check with your doctor regarding taking magnesium for stress.

Magnesium (promotes) relaxation, and it’s also involved in regulating melatonin, which guides your sleep-wake cycle and kickstarts the feeling of sleepiness,

How To Make The Sleepy Girl Mocktail

You just need 3 ingredients. That’s all.

Tart Cherry Juice
Magnesium Powder
Prebiotic Juice is suggested, but I’m going to use seltzer water

So, how do you put the Sleepy Girl Mocktail together?

You mix about 1/2 cup of the Tart Cherry Juice with 1 Tablespoon of the Magnesium Powder.
Stir it up really well. You don’t want clumps of magnesium floating in your juice.
Finish it off with a hefty pour of Prebiotic Juice, sprite, seltzer water, etc.
