The Science Behind The Sleep Hack Going Viral On TikTok

The ‘Sleepy Girl Mocktail’ is a trend that gained popularity on TikTok promising to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. But does it really work? Is it healthy? How does it differ from a sleeping pill?   

In the latest episode of Do You F*cking Mind? podcast, cognitive neuroscientist Alexis Fernandez unpacks the drink’s ingredients and explains how they affect the brain and body. 

“If there’s one thing that I can do for my listeners, it’s to get them understanding the seriousness of their sleep,” Alexis insists. “I don’t care how boring it sounds, it’s so f*cking important for your mental health. It is so important for your happiness, your productivity, for your attention span, for your everything!” 

This is a must-list for all those struggling to catch up on some much-needed Zzs!
