Who better than to take our brand new sleep supplements for a spin than The Goodnight Co. co-founder Shea Morrison. We gave Shea our 'Deep Sleep' with Activated Charcoal Supplement to take home and put to the test.

My sleep ritual is one of the most important parts of my day and, thinking back to way before even starting The Goodnight Co., I have always really had a sleep ritual but I guess I just didn’t know it! For as long as I can remember, I would always calculate backwards from what time I needed to wake up to make sure I was getting at least 8 hours sleep. I can function on 6–7 hours but I know I am going to have a great day if I can get 8! 

Until adding the amino sleep complex formulas to our range, my sleep ritual mostly looked like this: I like to try to go to bed around 9.00 – 9.30pm with the aim of being asleep between 9.30 – 10.00pm (I normally start my day just before 5.00am). Running two businesses and family with two small children means that there often isn’t a lot of ‘me’ time, particularly in the evening, but I recently invested in an infrared sauna and I LOVE IT! You will find me between saunas and magnesium bath soaks as many evenings as possible.

Now I feel even better in the mornings after introducing the 'Deep Sleep' Activated Charcoal powder. Most nights after putting the kids to bed, I make a pot of Goodnight Tea or a charcoal deep sleep drink and have either a sauna or soak in a bath, followed by the magnesium oral spray.

What has changed since taking the powder?

I have always been a good sleeper but sometimes I do struggle to go to sleep, or wake up in the middle of the night. Since taking the powder, I find I consistently go to sleep easily and if I wake up, I find it easier to go back to sleep. I also feel more refreshed in the morning, with more clarity.

I have been using the powder in my bliss balls too, which makes it super easy to remember to take the powder (who can resist a bliss ball?!).
