Here at Foria, we’re big believers that better sleep = better everything. When you’re well-rested, your mood is better. Your body feels more at ease. Your relationships (and your intimate life) have more space to flourish and you’re more open to connection.

But getting better sleep isn’t always simple. And though many of us have sleep struggles, they don’t look the same for everyone. Some of us lie awake with a racing mind. Others feel exhausted but physically tense, unable to fully relax. And many of us experience a mix of both, especially during times of stress or hormonal change (hello menopause wake-ups!).

That’s exactly why we created two different sleep-support formulas at Foria.

Think of them like two complementary nighttime rituals: one helps your body unwind, the other helps your mind let go.

So… which one is right for you?

Let’s dive in.

Why Sleep Support Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Similar to desire, there are different types of sleep and different reasons why you might be struggling to get some. Getting the sleep you need goes back to your nervous system, your hormones, and your daily rhythms.

You might struggle with:

A racing mind that won’t quiet down
Physical tension or restlessness in your body
Waking up in the middle of the night
Hormonal shifts that disrupt deep sleep

Even though these challenges all result in sub-optimal sleep, they come from different places and need different kinds of support. That’s where Mellö Magnesium and Shuteye Chai come in. Each tasty bedtime blend comes with its own unique superpower.

Mellö Magnesium: For Physical Relaxation + Nervous System Support

If your body feels like it can’t fully “switch off” at night, Mellö Magnesium is going to be your new off-switch.

This fast-absorbing dietary supplement delivers three highly bioavailable types of magnesium, plus GABA and L-theanine to calm the nervous system and support deeper rest.

Why people love it:

Helps you sleep through the night uninterrupted
Helps release physical tension (tight shoulders, restless legs, jaw clenching)
Supports a calm, parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) state
Tasty, absorbs quickly, and comes in three flavors

What’s in it:

Three highly bioavailable types of magnesium that promote relaxation and better sleep
GABA and L-theanine to calm the mind
70+ essential trace minerals for whole-body support

Keep in mind:

Mellö is designed to support the body’s transition into rest by giving your body the magnesium that many of us are deficient in. If your mind is still racing, you may want additional support to fully unwind.

Shuteye Chai: For Mental Calm + Bedtime Ritual

If your brain tends to stay “on” long after your head hits the pillow, Shuteye Chai offers a different kind of support.

This calming, bedtime drink blend made with functional mushrooms, ashwagandha, and adaptogens is designed to help ease mental chatter and signal to your body that it’s time to wind down. Plus, the act of making tea, slowing down, and sipping something warm can become a powerful message for your nervous system that says, “you’re safe, you can rest now.”

Why people love it:

Helps quiet racing thoughts and reduce adrenal fatigue and high cortisol levels
Supports emotional ease and relaxation
Creates a cozy, intentional bedtime ritual
A nourishing alternative to late-night scrolling or snacking (but tastes like a yummy, healthier dessert!)

What’s in it:

Ashwagandha to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
Gaba and L-theanine to calm the mind and reduce brain activity
Functional mushrooms: Chaga to help the body wind down after a long day and reishi to reduce anxiety and stress
Magnesium glycinate and adaptogens to promote relaxation and better sleep

Keep in mind:

Shuteye Chai works primarily on the mental and emotional side of sleep. If your body still feels tense or restless, pairing it with physical support (like Mellö Magnesium!) can make a big difference.

So, Which Sleep Drink Is Right for You?

Mello Magnesium may be right for you if you:

Feel physically tense at night
Experience restless legs or body discomfort
Wake up in the middle of the night due to cramps, soreness, or other physical discomfort
Have been experiencing sleep interruptions due to menopause
Want natural sleep support that won’t leave you feeling groggy in the morning
Are looking for a magnesium supplement (most of us need more magnesium!)

Shuteye Chai may be right for you if you:

Have a racing or overactive mind at bedtime
Struggle to “turn off” thoughts
Feel stress or anxiety at night
Crave a calming, cozy nighttime ritual
Enjoy warm beverages as part of winding down
Find yourself with sugar or snack cravings before bedtime

Can You Use Both Together?

Absolutely! Our two sleep support formulas are even more powerful when combined (just like our Intimacy formulas).

Think of this combo as full-spectrum sleep support:

Shuteye Chai calms the mind
Mellö Magnesium relaxes the body

Together, both natural formulas create a deeply supportive ritual that helps you transition into rest more fully.

This pairing is especially helpful if:

You feel both mentally and physically wired
You’re navigating stress or burnout
You’re experiencing hormonal sleep disruptions (like menopause)
You want to create a more intentional, nourishing nighttime routine

A Gentle Reminder About Sleep Habits

While these products can be incredibly supportive, they work best alongside simple, grounding habits:

Dimming lights in the evening
Limiting screen time before bed
Keeping a consistent sleep schedule
Avoiding eating too close to bedtime (ideally you should eat your last meal at least three hours before bed)
Avoiding caffeine too close to bedtime

Ready to sleep better?

Remember, there’s no single “best” sleep drink, only what works best for you. You may want to try both formulas to see which one works best for your needs, or if your body sleeps best when using both in combination.

As a starting point:

If your sleep struggles feel physical → reach for Mellö Magnesium
If they feel mental → sip Shuteye Chai
If it’s both (and for many of us, it is both!) → use them together

Better sleep isn’t just about getting through the night, it’s about how you feel in your body, your energy, and your connections the next day. That’s why both of our formulas are all-natural and will never “knock you out” or force your body into sleep. Instead, they work with your body to get to the root of sleeplessness (your nervous system!) so that you’ll wake up the next morning feeling refreshed, not groggy.
