Leave it to TikTok to come up with strategies on how to sleep better. I’m told the “sleepy girl mocktail” is the latest recommendation. It’s a concoction of  tart cherry juice, magnesium powder and soda water, poured over ice. Cherries are a natural source of melatonin and also contains tryptophan, which combined with magnesium is purported to calm down your nervous system for better rest.

Here’s one recipe for the Sleepy Girl Mocktail (there are many variations.) You’ll need a few ingredients and a large glass. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you in the Comment section.

• Ice
• ½ cup pure tart cherry juice
• 1 tablespoon of magnesium powder
• Lemon lime-flavored soda or sparkling water

Fill a glass of your choosing with ice. Next, pour in the ½ cup of cherry juice. Add 1 tablespoon of magnesium powder to the liquid and stir well. Then top it off with your favorite lemon-lime flavored beverage. Some people also add two teaspoons of elderberry syrup.
