I Spent $2,300 on Melatonin, Magnesium, and Sleep Supplements. 

My name is Marie. I'm 52 year old Physician from Washington and a mom to 3 wonderful children. 

And i have spent over $2,300 in the last 4 years on Sleep Supplements.

I didn’t add it up because I wanted to start a business.

I added it up because I was about to buy another sleep supplement.

There it was in my order history: another promise, another delivery date, another reason to believe the next few nights might be different.

Before checking out, I went back through the earlier orders.

Melatonin. Magnesium. Gummies. Powders. The supplement I’d ordered after reading reviews in the middle of the night.

I sat there looking at the number. I couldn’t remember the last time choosing a bedtime product had felt simple.

Maybe this is what I’ve been missing.

I tried melatonin because I wanted sleep to come more easily.

When that didn’t give me the experience I wanted, I tried magnesium. Then another product. Then something with a longer ingredient list.

I read instructions. I compared reviews. I gave things a chance.

And I still found myself checking the clock.

Sometimes, falling asleep wasn’t even the part I struggled with. It was waking later and knowing the rest of the house would stay quiet for hours.

By morning, the frustration followed me into small things.

Reading the same email twice. Losing a word halfway through a sentence. Hearing impatience in my own voice and wishing I could take it back.

I wanted an ordinary morning to feel less demanding.
