To make this effective bedtime drink, add one heaping teaspoon of unflavored gelatin powder or collagen hydrolysate to 4-5 ounces of hot water. Stir until fully dissolved for a light, savory broth. Add a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon if desired for flavor. Sip slowly about 45-60 minutes before bed as your chosen bedtime drink.
Smart Guidelines for Trying These Bedtime Drinks
Start with smaller amounts if new to any bedtime drink to see how your body responds. Choose unsweetened varieties and avoid additives that could counteract relaxation. For coconut water, check with your doctor if you have potassium restrictions. These bedtime drinks are generally well-tolerated but individual results for reducing nighttime awakenings can vary.
