Off melatonin, finally
Same sleep, and I get my mornings back. That was the whole problem.

For the night your body is tired and your head will not switch off
Magnesium bisglycinate gummies, two before bed. Raspberry, sugar-free, and no melatonin in them.
- You drop off instead of lying there: Most people describe the gap between lights-out and actually going under getting shorter - fifteen or twenty minutes instead of an hour of thinking.
- You stop waking up underwater: This is the reason people leave melatonin. Not that it fails - that the next morning costs more than the night was worth.
- The three-in-the-morning wake-up gets shorter: You still surface. You are just not awake for an hour afterwards, and this is the half that takes a few weeks rather than a few nights.
- Two gummies, no sugar, nothing to swallow: Raspberry, sweetened with erythritol, and no capsule to wash down at eleven at night.

It does not knock you out
You just stop lying there. I was expecting to feel drugged and I do not.
The 3am thing got shorter
Took about a fortnight. I still wake up, I just go back down.
Magnesium is a mineral your nervous system runs on, and it is one most people are a little short of. Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that is itself associated with settling down for the night.
It is not a sedative and it does not act like one. Nothing in it tells your body it is bedtime - it just removes some of the reason your body is arguing about it.
No, and if that is what you are after this is the wrong product.
What people describe is subtraction rather than addition - the lying-there part gets shorter. You do not feel a thing come over you, which is exactly why the morning is different. That is the trade people are making when they come off melatonin.
Raspberry, and honestly not everyone likes it. Sugar-free gummies are sweetened with erythritol, which some people taste as slightly cooling and a few find odd.
If you have had a sugar-free gummy before you know whether this is a problem for you. It is the single most common complaint about every gummy in this category and we would rather say so than let you find out.
No. That is magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide, and neither is in here.
Citrate is the one with the laxative reputation, and it is cheap, which is why it turns up in a lot of blends that describe themselves as gentle. This is bisglycinate only.

You are not tired. You are tired and awake, which is worse.
The body is done. You did the day, you are lying down, and the head has decided this is a good time to go back over a conversation from 2019. Somewhere around midnight you start doing the arithmetic - if I go to sleep right now, that is still six hours.
You have tried melatonin. It worked, more or less. And then you spent the morning feeling like you were underwater and decided that was not a trade you wanted to keep making.
Melatonin is a signal, not a sedative - it tells the body it is night. Take it when the body already knows that and you are adding a message it did not need, which is where the grogginess comes from. Magnesium is not a signal at all. It is a mineral the nervous system runs on, and most people are running a little short of it.
Nothing here tells your body it is night. It just stops arguing.

Bound to glycine, which is the whole argument
Magnesium on its own is poorly absorbed and rough on the stomach - that is the cheap oxide most supermarket tablets use. Bisglycinate is the mineral bound to two molecules of glycine, which carries it across intact and happens to be an amino acid associated with settling at night. You are getting the form, not just the mineral.
The gap before you go under, and the one at three in the morning
There are two separate things people call bad sleep and they do not improve on the same schedule. Falling asleep is usually the fast one and a lot of people notice it the first night. Staying asleep is the slow one, and it is the reason the three and five month sizes exist rather than a marketing reason.
What melatonin costs you in the morning
Melatonin is a signal that tells your body it is night. It works, and the trouble is that it keeps working after you would like it to have stopped. This is not a signal, so there is nothing to wear off.
The same night, twice
Nothing to photograph, so here is the thing itself
There is no photograph of a feeling. What there is, is the same room at the same time on two different nights - and the difference between being awake for it and not. That is the whole of what this is for. The clock reads the same in both halves on purpose.
How fast, and how much, is different for everyone.
What the first two months look like
Two gummies, about half an hour before bed.
Tonight
Two gummies about half an hour before bed. A lot of people notice on the first night that the gap before they go under is shorter. Some notice nothing yet.
The first week
You stop doing the arithmetic - the thing where you work out how many hours are left if you fall asleep right now.
Week 2
The three-in-the-morning wake-up is still there. You are just not awake for an hour afterwards. Most people say this was the part that took a fortnight.
Week 4
You notice it in the mornings rather than at night. Getting up stops being a negotiation.
Week 8
Roughly where a mineral you were short of stops being one you are short of. Nothing dramatic happens. It is steadier than it was.
Ongoing
It is a mineral, not a course. You use it up daily and top it back up daily, which is the entire reason the three and five month sizes exist.
What people say
4.6 average from 3,100 people
I came off melatonin because of the mornings, not the nights. This does the night without the morning.
Rachel P., verified buyer
I was braced to feel drugged. You just stop lying there, which is all I wanted.
Denis O., verified buyer
Still wake up at three. I am back asleep in ten minutes instead of an hour.
Marguerite A., verified buyer
No capsule to swallow at eleven at night is a smaller thing than it sounds until you have it.

Questions
Melatonin is a hormone that signals night. Magnesium is a mineral your nervous system runs on. One tells your body what time it is; the other is part of how your body settles at all.
The practical difference people report is the morning. A signal has to wear off. A mineral does not.
Two gummies about half an hour before bed, every night rather than only on bad ones - magnesium is topped up, not taken as needed.
A lot of people notice the falling-asleep part on the first night. Staying asleep usually takes a couple of weeks, and the steadier version of it is somewhere around two months. Some people notice nothing on night one.
Magnesium can interact with some antibiotics and some thyroid and heart medications, usually by affecting absorption if taken at the same time.
We are not going to answer this for you. If you take a prescription medication, ask your own doctor or pharmacist - they will know in about thirty seconds.
Oxide is the cheapest and the least absorbed. Citrate absorbs better and has a laxative reputation that is thoroughly earned.
Bisglycinate is the mineral bound to glycine, which carries it across intact and is gentle. It costs more to make, which is why blends quietly cut it with citrate.
Sixty nights. Take them properly - every night, half an hour before bed, and give it a fortnight before you judge the staying-asleep half.
If your nights are no different, message us and we will take it back.

I got my mornings back
I had been on melatonin for two years and the nights were fine - it was waking up feeling like I was underwater that I could not keep doing. Switched to these six weeks ago. Same going to sleep, and I am actually awake at eight.

It does not feel like anything, which is the point
I kept waiting to feel drowsy and it never came. What happened instead is that I stopped lying there running through work. I was asleep before I noticed I was going.

The three o'clock hour is gone
I still surface most nights, I just do not stay up for it any more. That took about two weeks to settle in - the first week only the falling asleep was different.

Give it two weeks and make peace with the taste
The raspberry is a bit odd at first - sugar-free always is - and night one did nothing for me. By the second week I was going down much faster. Worth it, but do not expect to be knocked out on the first evening.

No pill at eleven at night
Two gummies and done. I was never going to keep swallowing capsules before bed, and I know that because I have three half-finished bottles in the cupboard proving it. This is the first one I have actually finished.
