Why These Ingredients Help 

Tart Cherry Juice – a natural source of melatonin and tryptophan, both supportive of sleep regulation.

Chamomile Tea – well-known herbal relaxant that promotes calmness.

Honey – can help with tryptophan transport into the brain, supporting serotonin and melatonin production.

Warm Oat Milk (or Almond Milk) – oats and almonds contain magnesium and melatonin precursors, adding creaminess and sleep support.

Cinnamon/Nutmeg (optional) – adds warmth and may help with relaxation.
