When you become a parent, everyone tells you to savor each moment; that you’ll “blink and miss it.”

Well, I’m sitting here blinking repeatedly, wishing I could miss this part. All jokes… kinda.

I made it through the sleepless newborn phase, the subsequent sleep regressions, and the terrible twos. Barely. But no one prepared me for the nights when my kids, now 4 and 7, just wouldn’t sleep.

And of course, each has a different sleep struggle. One is restless around bedtime — one more story, dear reader, is never actually just one more story. The other is like a smoke detector, going off in the dead of night.

Now, not even the dog is getting a full night of sleep. I’ve been rushing through my normally-relaxing bedtime routine in hopes of a few more meager minutes of sleep. Until I got an email that changed everything…

Then: Desperate for Sweet Dreams

There’s no good way for your child to wake you up in the middle of the night. It doesn’t matter if they gently open the door and whisper your name or rigorously shake your shoulders like a sleep paralysis demon; it’s a jumpscare regardless.

It’s been happening almost every night, so you think my brain would start to expect it at this point, right? Nope. I still get the scary split-second panic response, aka, a cortisol spike that prevents me from crashing once my kids are finally back in bed.

I’ve had my fair share of sleepless nights in the past too and tried nearly every sleep supplement in the book until I finally came across one that worked for me.

But as desperate as I am for all of us to be able to sleep, there isn’t much out there for sleep that’s safe for kids. So, for now, I’m not in Seattle, but I’m definitely Sleepless.

The Turning Point:

I was, of course, tired the day I got the email, and at first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me because it seemed too good to be true. The gummies I took every night before bed, the same gummy I had been tempted to give my kids on more than one occasion, were now being launched in a kid-friendly version.

MoonBrew’s Sleep + Gummy Vitamin was a gamechanger for my sleep and quickly became a non-negotiable part of my bedtime routine. One that my kids quickly noticed and had asked for. Now, they could get in on the sweet treat. There are a few key differences that separate the adult and kid formulas.

The Kid and Adult Gummies are both made with 17 real fruits and packed with 7 essential vitamins
The Kids Gummies contain gentler doses of magnesium, l-theanine, tart cherry, and jujube that are safe for kids
Addition of folate and Omega-3 DHA for kids
No apigenin, GABA, iron, or sugar coating for kids

Notably absent from either formula is melatonin, something that’s technically only recommended for kids under recommendation of a pediatrician. Yet so many kids sleep supplements contain at least some amount of it. Stuff like that is why I’ve held off on giving my kids supplements for so long, but since MoonBrew is a brand I know and trust, I’m feeling more confident.

We all know kids hate anything they perceive as “good” for them, so the best part is that they just think it’s a sweet treat to end the night. Less sugar and less hassle than ice cream, and it helps with sweet dreams? It’s a win-win.

Now: The Whole Family is Fast Asleep

I wasn’t expecting a miracle, but it was like… magic.

My kids just think they’re getting a strawberry-flavored sweet treat like Mom, but thanks to the magnesium and vitamins, they’re less fussy at bedtime.

We’re spending less time telling stories and more time snuggling before they conk out for the night.

And I mean for the night; once they’re asleep, they’re staying asleep. I’ll be honest, there were a few nights that I woke up around the same time that my son used to, expecting to see someone standing over my bed, but he was still asleep, peacefully dreaming.

There’s no sedation or grogginess, either. If anything, they wake up with more energy than ever before.

And now that I’m back to getting a full night in bed, I have more energy to keep up with their craziness too.
