1. Skip the Melatonin Hangover

Let’s face it: melatonin can leave you feeling worse for wear. Many people experience side effects like grogginess, headaches, or lingering fatigue that’s worse than insomnia itself. Why trade one sleepless night for a groggy morning? Functional mushrooms, by contrast, work with your body’s natural rhythms to ease you into restful sleep without the dreaded “melatonin hangover.”

2. Relax Your Nervous System with Reishi

The star of Alice’s nightcap are Reishi mushrooms, which are like a warm hug for your nervous system. Known for their calming properties, Reishi helps down-regulate your stress response, promoting a sense of relaxation. Think of it as the nutritional equivalent of lying with your legs up the wall—pure bliss for your body and mind. Add it to your nighttime routine to help you wind down naturally.

3. Powerful Formulas for Deep Rest

Functional mushroom blends, like Alice Mushrooms’ Nightcap, combine adaptogens with sleep-supporting compounds like magnesium, chamomile, and zinc. This dream team works together to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and enjoy high-quality rest. No synthetic shortcuts here—just nature’s finest working in harmony with your body.

4. Stay Asleep, Not Just Fall Asleep

Melatonin might help you doze off initially, but it doesn’t address the underlying processes that keep you asleep throughout the night. Mushrooms like Reishi support the body’s ability to stay in restorative sleep cycles by balancing cortisol levels (our stress hormone) which can disrupt sleep if elevated. When cortisol is under control, you’re less likely to experience those middle-of-the-night wakeups triggered by an overactive mind.  They also support neurotransmitter activity, enhancing the production of GABA, a calming brain chemical that prevents overstimulation and promotes deeper, uninterrupted sleep. 

5. Rewire Your Brain for Better Sleep

One of the most exciting benefits of functional mushrooms is their ability to support neural pathways. Adaptogens like Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps have been shown to promote brain health, resilience, and adaptability. Over time, incorporating mushrooms into your routine may help your brain “learn” better sleep patterns, creating a sustainable solution for long-term rest. 

6. Bedtime Desserts That Soothe, Not Stimulate

Who doesn’t love a little nighttime treat? Alice’s proprietary mushroom-based sleep chocolate is a little slice of heaven and the last thing you’ll want to taste before brushing your teeth. They’re indulgent enough to satisfy your sweet tooth but crafted to lull you into a calm, sleep-ready state. You’ll feel like you’re having dessert, minus the sugar rush or insomnia.
