Mushrooms Nightcap | Mushroom Chocolates | Supports Deep Sleep, Calm Mind, and Stress Relief - Reishi & L-Theanine | Regulates Sleep Cycles & Reduces Tension - Magnesium, Zinc

i really liked these, as someone who has a lot of trouble falling asleep and feels awful when i wake up (no matter how much sleep i get), these helped me to feel more relaxed before i went to bed and feel SO refreshed when i wake up. it has been a game changer! i am in grad school and have late nights and early mornings, so these have helped me feel so much better on my 4am wakeup days.

Arrived in fully melted liquid form (it is spring here, not summer), and took hours for it to slightly harden into a toothpaste-like consistency. I finally had to put it in freezer to get it to solidify. I had to cut it because once it turned into a solid it had no piece divisions and is misshapen. It had a grainy, slightly unpleasant texture. Also, didn't help me sleep. When I did sleep briefly several times during the night I had unpleasant dreams and I'm not sure if it is the Mushroom Chocolate's fault or just how my dreams happened that night. Wouldn't recommend purchasing if you live someplace that gets above 75degrees because it is not shipped in insulated packaging.

So good! These have become my favorite nighttime treat. They taste amazing and really help me relax and wind down for the night. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in my sleep too!

I love the packaging! Super cute tin and small enough to be able to take it with you wherever. In terms of functionality, I do think it helped me fall asleep faster and woke up feeling more rested than usual so that’s awesome!! Personally, it’s a little more bitter of a taste than I usually go for. It does taste like chocolate, just a little less sweet than my personal preference.

Ok, long review - sit tight: - I like the chocolate take on mushrooms, they are earthy and the chocolate compliments it. I appreciate that they are not excessively sweet to try to mask the flavor. Admittedly it is a bit of an acquired taste but so was matcha and that is everywhere now haha - the effects were subtle - it def helped get me to that sleepy, pre-bed phase - like I felt chill, cozy and relaxed. I am still guaging if they truly helped me sleep as ive had some nights where i went right to sleep and others where my sleep latency was still not where Id want after taking one Overall, i am intrigued at the effect - and i want to try to focus ones next because ive had success with mushroom coffee and a chcolate is a much more enjoyable way to consume the mushrooms

I decided to do a scientific investigation. I bought 2 other chocolates that I've never had before, and had a blind test of 8 nights, where 4 nights used Alice and 4 nights used the other two chocolates. I wasn't really able to tell the difference of the chocolates by taste, but because Alice is decaffeinated, it is not "real" chocolate. (that also means that the control chocolates had a small amount of caffeine. I estimate about 5-15 mg. I drink about 200 mg of coffee a day, so I assumed that this would not have a big effect). The result is that the average sleep score (on a scale from 1 to 5) for Alice was 2.88 and the average sleep score for the other two was 2.18. In other words, both were not good, but Alice was a little better. Definitely not good enough to justify paying $30. That said, my partner did the same blind test, and she immediately got benefits from one of the chocolates and stopped the test. She found out that the Alice nightcap really helped her. So I would rate it a 1, and she would probably rate it a 5 (except for cost), so I will settle on a rating of 3. I will let you know what does help me sleep, with the caveat that these are all supposed to be bad for you in the long term: 1. THC/TBN gummies or tinctures formulated for sleep (must have CBN (with an "N") and must have THC. CBD is useless). Legal in California. 2. Benadryl (aka diphenhydramine HCl) 10-20 mg. Note that some OTC pills have 50 mg of diphenhydramine HCl! 3. prescription sleeping pills. The control chocolates were Beyond Good, and Divine brands. My son cut the pieces up so that it was hard to tell by shape, and each piece was wrapped in aluminum foil, and I had a random one each night. I had never looked at or tasted Alice or the controls. Now that I know which pieces were Alice, I would say that the taste was decent, but not OMG great. It is very sweet and a little soft, and on the "milk chocolate" end of the dark chocolate spectrum. I did not taste mushrooms. If you a chocolate connoisseur and like 80-90% dark chocolate, you will be disappointed.

As someone who's pretty anxious, falling asleep has never been the easy part. I'm usually a magnesium girlie through and through, but these completely won me over. The first night I tried them, I had one of the deepest, most restful sleeps I've had in a long time. And that's coming from someone who always jokes that there's somehow still sleep left in me that needs to be slept. I'm also really mindful about what I put into my body, so I'm pretty picky about supplements. These felt like an easy yes. They helped me wind down without leaving me feeling groggy the next morning. They're also genuinely delicious, which definitely doesn't hurt. I'm about to start a summer of long-haul flights, and these are absolutely coming with me. I already know they're going to be a travel essential. Genuinely a 10 out of 10 and something I'd recommend to just about everyone in my life.

First of all if you’re going to charge $40 for a couple pieces of chocolate do not ship through mail when it’s 90 degrees out ! Second of all I had high hopes that this product would help with my sleep however, I found it to be of no help at all let alone the “deep sleep”they claim in their advertising. Don’t waste your money .
