Ditch the Melatonin Fog: Sleep Deeper, Wake Clearer

Melatonin supplements may help you fall asleepâbut at what cost? Discover the natural sleep ritual that helps you rise refreshed, not foggy.
I used to rely on melatonin every nightâthinking I was doing something good for my body. But every morning, I woke up foggy, sluggish, and strangely moody.
Thatâs when I decided to go deeper. I learned that melatonin is a signal, not a sedative. And when you flood your body with too much of it, your natural rhythm falls out of sync.
I didnât want a band-aidâI wanted balance. So I turned to plants. Herbs that calm the nervous system without hijacking it. And now? I sleep deeper and wake up clearerâwith no supplements, no fog, just flow.â
