With a plethora of videos on the site showing others copying the Sleepy Girl Mocktail, there are a lot of people out there yearning for extra sleep—and finding it. Trends like the ‘sleepy girl mocktail’ are popular online, given that one in every three individuals gets insufficient sleep each night. We’re all looking for a few extra precious moments of relaxation, and if that comes in the form of a delightful mocktail, we’re all ears.
The drink’s three major ingredients are sour cherry juice, magnesium powder, and Olipop soda to add fizz. A significant feature of a sleepy girl mocktail is its ease of preparation. It’s late and so, it’s easy to put together and combine into a single, sleep-inducing remedy.
The real question is, does it work? First, let’s discuss the element of magnesium. Magnesium’s main job is to assist our bodies in converting food into energy. Although it can be taken as a supplement (typically in the form of capsules), it can also be found naturally in foods like spinach, almonds, and fish. It’s plausible that its inclusion in the sleepy girl mocktail is improving these TikTokers’ sleep because some studies claim that it also promotes sleep by controlling the generation of melatonin. So, it appears that specialists give magnesium a large tick.
While cherry juice may seem to be added to the beverage purely for flavour, it may also help you attain restful sleep. Natural sources of the hormone melatonin, which controls the sleep-wake cycle, include tart cherries. Wellness influencers are promoting the mocktail as a must-have to aid with sleep.
