The Night Before
The three-pillar approach to deep, restorative sleep.
Most sleep supplements force a tradeoff: gentle herbs that don't quite do the job, or high-dose sedatives that knock you out and leave you groggy. The Night Before is built differently. Because real sleep isn't one thing - it's a system. The brain needs to enter the deep stages of sleep where actual recovery happens, the body needs to relax, and the mind needs to calm down. Miss a stage and the rest underperform.
We built The Night Before to address all three with full, effective doses across the entire formula.
Pillar 1 - Deepen Sleep & Recovery
The goal isn't more sleep - it's better sleep. These ingredients support the deeper, more restorative stages of the sleep cycle and help signal the body that it's time to wind down:
- Melatonin - 4 mg - the hormone your body produces to signal sleep onset, dosed to support consistent sleep timing and circadian rhythm
- Phosphatidylserine - 100 mg of 20% extract - studied for its role in cortisol regulation and sleep architecture
- Tart Cherry - 100 mg - a natural source of compounds associated with sleep quality and recovery
- Taurine - 100 mg - an amino acid that supports neurological calm and cellular hydration
Pillar 2 - Lower Anxiety & Cortisol
Cortisol is the stress hormone that should drop at night. When it doesn't, you stay wired. These ingredients support the body's transition from alert to recovery mode:
- Magnesium Glycinate - 300 mg - a highly bioavailable form of magnesium associated with relaxation and sleep quality
- Glycine - 200 mg - an amino acid studied for its role in lowering core body temperature for sleep onset
- Lavender Extract - 100 mg of 10:1 extract - studied for its calming effect on the nervous system
- Rhodiola Rosea - 50 mg with 3% rosavins - an adaptogen that supports a balanced stress response
Pillar 3 - Calm The Mind
Most people don't have a sleep problem - they have a racing-thoughts problem. The mind has to stop running before the body can rest. These ingredients support a calmer baseline:
- L-Theanine - 200 mg - an amino acid from green tea studied for its effect on alpha brain waves and relaxation without sedation
- Lemon Balm - 100 mg of 10:1 extract - traditionally used to ease nervous tension

Who it's for
The Night Before is for people who've tried both ends of the sleep aisle and walked away frustrated. The all-natural formulas that felt like placebo. The single-ingredient melatonin shots that knocked them out and left them groggy. We built something in between: a complete, ten-ingredient formula that addresses the full sleep system - deep recovery, cortisol regulation, and mental wind-down - with effective doses across the board.
If you want a sleep formula that actually works on how your nervous system winds down, you're in the right place.
