Why two products and not just one?

+

They do different jobs at different points in the evening. Calm is a magnesium and botanical drink for the wind-down hours, when you want to stop carrying the day around. Sleep is a capsule you take right before bed. Most people who buy one end up buying the other, so the bundle is just the routine in one box.

What's included?

+

One box of Calm (20 sachets, Orange & Yuzu or Wild Berry) and one pouch of Sleep Capsules (56 capsules, 28 nights). Both are made in the UK, third party tested and melatonin free.

How and when do I take them?

+

One Calm stick in water any time between 6pm and 9pm. Two Sleep capsules 30 to 60 minutes before bed. That's the whole routine. No tracking, no timing rules to get wrong, and you can take both on the same night.

What does it taste like?

+

Calm comes in Orange & Yuzu and Wild Berry. Both are sugar free, lightly sweetened with stevia and designed to taste like something you'd actually want at 8pm rather than a supplement you tolerate. The capsules are unflavoured and easy to swallow.

How long should I give it?

+

Give it a full month of consistent evenings before you judge it. Magnesium works best when it's topped up daily rather than taken occasionally, which is exactly why we sell it as a routine rather than a one off. Some people notice the wind-down part in the first week.

Is it right for me?

+

NOT ANOTHER 'SLEEP HACK'

You've probably tried a few things.

  • The pillow spray- smelled lovely. Did nothing.
  • Melatonin- worked... for about a week.
  • The sleep tracker- just told you how badly you slept.
  • Counting actual sheep- you got to 400. Still awake.

If bedtime still feels like something you brace for, it's not you. You've just been fixing one half of the night.

36% of people tell us they go to bed already expecting a bad one. You're in good company.

So why does nothing stick?

Here's why nothing stuck.

The night has two halves.

Most sleep products only help with one.

Early evening

A mind that won't switch off.

You're in bed, but your brain's still replaying the day and rehearsing tomorrow.

86% tell us their sleep is restless - mind racing, tossing and turning.

Calm, a gentle evening drink to quiet the noise.

One sachet mixed into cold water, anytime you're looking for a moment of calm.

Through the night

Waking, never quite restored.

You struggle drifting off, and when you finally do you just can't seem to stay there till morning.

75% say staying asleep is their biggest struggle. 40% would fix uninterrupted sleep first.

Sleep, a nightly capsule to help you stay down.

Two capsules, 30 minutes before bed.

Most of us are a bit of both - so one thing was never going to do it. The Evening Routine supports both ends of the night: Calm for your evenings, Sleep for your nights.

Why twelve weeks?

We won't promise miracles by Tuesday

Good sleep comes back gradually, a few easier nights, then more of them, until rest just feels normal again.

The first weeks

Settling in

The routine finds its place. The odd easier night starts to appear.

Weeks 3–8

Finding your rhythm

More of those good nights, and mornings that feel a little steadier.

Weeks 9–12

It starts to feel normal

Rest you don't have to think about. The ritual's just part of the evening now.

And beyond

The part you keep

The habit's yours now, carry it on for as long as it serves you.

A typical experience, many people find their own rhythm, and results vary.

Choose your flavours

Two flavours, both calming.

Same gentle magnesium blend underneath. The only question is which one you'll reach for at the end of the day.

You'll receive 1 pack of capsules every month (56 capsules, 2 every night before bed). You can choose your flavour and change it at any point.

Wild Berry

Like a handful of summer berries.

Wild Berry

Tastes like

  • Strawberry
  • Raspberry
  • Dark berries

A wash of raspberry and redcurrant, bright and clean, with a fine thread of tartness keeping it lifted. Fruity, but never sugared.

Best over ice — your after-work cue to put the day down.

Orange & Yuzu

Like a sunset in a glass.

Orange & Yuzu

Tastes like

  • Sweet orange
  • Yuzu
  • Bright citrus

Warm, ripe sweet orange leads, golden and unhurried, then yuzu arcs through with a crisp, luminous twist. Bright and fading at once.

Best over ice — your after-work cue to put the day down.

Right, I never leave reviews but these have earned one. Started taking two before bed and the wind down just feels easier now. Not knocked out, just calmer. Mornings are less of a write off too.

I love the website and how it explains everything in so much detail, delivery was quick and the product is amazing! I've already noticed a difference in a couple of weeks, going from struggling to falling asleep and waking up in the middle of the night to dropping off quickly, no background mind noise, and sleeping through until the morning. I'm definitely going to subscribe on my next purchase!

Honestly a game changer for my sleep! I'm always sceptical with what I put in my body but I'm 2 weeks in and I can already notice the difference. I have the Orange & Yuzu wind down drink every day after work and it just settles me into my evenings (it also tastes very nostalgic! Like Robinsons but tastier!). And then I take two of the sleep capsules every night just before bed and I can feel myself drifting off quicker and quicker every day. I have recommend it to all of my friends and will be sticking to the subscription! Love the customer service too. Great product!!!! Where have you been all my life

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Pick Orange & Yuzu or Wild Berry above. If you can't decide, most people start with Orange & Yuzu and switch later. You can change flavour on any future delivery from your account.

No, and the pack sizes are built around that. Sleep is 56 capsules, so 28 nights, because it's the part of the routine that does its best work as a habit. Calm is 20 sticks rather than 28 on purpose. Nobody's Tuesday evening looks like their Saturday, so we sized it for the evenings you actually want it, around five a week. Use them together, or use Calm on the evenings that need it and keep the capsules nightly.

Tear one stick into 250 to 300ml of cold water, stir or shake for a few seconds, and drink. It dissolves quickly and doesn't need to be cold, but most people prefer it that way.

It's the backbone of both products. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, normal functioning of the nervous system and a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. We use bisglycinate and citrate forms, which are gentler on the stomach than the cheaper oxide you'll find in most supermarket supplements.

No. Neither product contains melatonin. It's prescription only in the UK anyway, and we'd rather build a routine you can stay on than something you have to come off.

Both products are vegan, gluten free, sugar free and free from the 14 major allergens. Everything is made in the UK in a BRC certified facility and third party tested. Full ingredient lists are on each product page.

If you're taking prescription medication or have a health condition, check with your GP or pharmacist first. Not suitable if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or under 18. Don't exceed the stated dose, and don't double up if another supplement you take already contains magnesium.
