Evening Wind-Down
For the person who is "tired but wired" every night and wants an evening ritual that isn't another 10pm scroll session.
There's a very specific kind of tired where your body is exhausted but your brain has other plans. You lie down, and suddenly it's a highlight reel of every conversation you've had since 2019. This routine isn't about knocking yourself out — it's about giving your evening an actual shape, so your body gets the memo that the day is done.
We built it around small, repeatable cues rather than one heroic fix. A gummy can be part of your wind-down ritual, but the ritual itself — dimming lights, putting the phone in another room, having something warm to drink — is doing a lot of the work too.
the ritual
- 1
7–8pm — close the laptop
Set a soft cut-off for screens and admin. This is the point where "just one more email" turns into scrolling for an hour, so treat it like a hard stop, not a suggestion.
- 2
8–9pm — dim it down
Swap overhead lights for lamps, run a warm shower, and let your space start looking like night rather than a lit-up office. This is also a good window for a light stretch or a few pages of a book.

9–9:30pm — take your wind-down gummy
Take your gummy roughly 30 minutes before you actually want to be in bed, alongside your usual evening routine — brushing teeth, setting tomorrow's alarm, that sort of thing.

Lights out
Phone off the nightstand, room cool and dark. Give yourself permission to just lie there without expecting to fall asleep instantly — the pressure to "sleep now" is often the thing keeping people awake.
what's in the routine
The gummies that anchor this routine, and why we've paired them this way.
Wind Down Sleep Gummies
Best for: a calming evening ritual, melatonin-free wind-down, and L-Theanine + magnesium support
The anchor of the routine — GABA, L-theanine, valerian, chamomile, magnesium and ashwagandha in a melatonin-free grape gummy, taken as your evening cue.
Focus Mushroom Gummies
Best for: a daily functional mushroom ritual featuring Lion's Mane, Reishi and Cordyceps
If your evenings are wired because your days are foggy, this daytime mushroom blend (take earlier, not at night) can take pressure off bedtime by supporting daytime focus instead.
habits worth stacking
- Keep a consistent wake-up time, even on weekends — it does more for your body clock than a consistent bedtime.
- Get outside for daylight within an hour of waking; morning light exposure helps regulate your evening wind-down later.
- Cut caffeine after early afternoon — it has a longer half-life than most people assume.
- Write tomorrow's to-do list before bed so your brain isn't trying to hold it all overnight.
- Keep the bedroom for sleep only where you can — no laptop, no work calls.
