“REMEMBER, WHEN IT COMES TO VIRAL TRENDS, A SPRINKLE OF SCEPTICISM AND A DASH OF YOUR OWN RESEARCH NEVER GO AMISS.”
So, what’s the scoop on this magic mocktail?
Imagine sipping on a drink that whispers promises of the best sleep you’ve had since your pre-mum days. That’s what wellness influencers are touting about this trendy concoction. And let’s face it, when you’re a mum, a good night’s sleep is the elusive dream you’re always chasing.
The recipe shot to fame thanks to Gracie Norton’s TikTok, raking in views by the millions. And it’s not just Gracie – countless others are sharing their own renditions of this cherry-hued nightcap, each seeking that blissful slumber.
How to Make the Sleepy Girl Mocktail
Want to make your own Sleepy Girl Mocktail at home? You’ll need a few ingredients and a large glass.
Ice
½ cup pure tart cherry juice
1 tablespoon of magnesium powder
Soda water or sparkling water
Fill the glass with ice. Pour in the cherry juice. Add 1 tablespoon of magnesium powder and stir well. Then top it off with with your fav fizzy water.
But does the Sleepy Girl Mocktail really deliver?
Tart cherry juice contains melatonin, a natural sleep hormone. So when we consume melatonin, studies show it combines with the melatonin already in our body to help regulate sleep.
As for magnesium, it can supposedly help you sleep longer, get better quality sleep, and feel less tired.
Whether this is the magic elixir tired mums have been searching for, the verdict’s still a bit fuzzy. While some TikTok users swear it’s their new bedtime holy grail, others are a bit sceptical, pointing out the potential nighttime trips to the loo or suggesting cherry juice solo might do the trick.
So, should you join the Sleepy Girl Mocktail bandwagon? It’s all about personal preference and perhaps a bit of mum’s intuition. If you’re curious, why not give it a whirl? It could be the bedtime twist you’ve been longing for, or at the very least, a delightful way to end your day. Just remember, when it comes to viral trends, a sprinkle of scepticism and a dash of your own research never go amiss. Sweet dreams, mums!
