I’m a big fan of Celestial Seasonings kombucha and green tea energy shots so I jumped at the chance to try their new Sleepytime Natural Sleep Aid. These caffeine-free shots are designed to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up feeling refreshed. While I don’t have trouble sleeping often, it can be hard to turn my mind off after a long and stressful day. I also have restless legs from time to time. The berry flavor seemed liked the safest bet as that was my favorite in the other lines.
Following the directions on the label, I took the shot 30 minutes before I planned to go to sleep. The taste left a little to be desired but that being said, valerian is the first ingredient and it is a very bitter and stinky herb. The cane juice and stevia helped to soften that a bit. It wasn’t intolerable though since this shot is not designed to be consumed on a very regular basis.
Sleep came quickly and without the usual tossing and turning before I settled in. The next morning I was a bit groggy (getting up at 6:00AM on a Wednesday will do that to anyone) but I felt like I had gotten a solid night of sleep. I can definitely see myself to turning to these when the holiday season at work has me exhausted. They are certainly worth a try for anyone who needs help with getting to sleep.

Great review! Love your honesty 🙂 Hmm..what kind of sleeper am I? Well, I toss and turn a lot in my sleep. I think I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, but can never remember. I've been told some embaressing stories of me suddenly waking up and telling jokes to my friends around me lol.
I don't sleep well. I know I wake up when my sleep is disturbed by anything: a loud noise, cat jumping on the bed, spouse turning in for the night at 2am. I would pay good money for a natural way to fall asleep – even if it tastes a little funky! 🙂
I pretty much sleep like a log but also have restless legs at night :C and every so often I'll wake up in the middle and not be able to sleep for 3 hours.. those are the worst.. What other flavors were there besides the berry? :O
I am a very restless sleeper. I talk, kick, punch, etc!! Luckily for the most part its just me and the girls (aka dogs) so they don't mind!
Thanks for entering everyone. To answer Stephanie's question, they also make peach and lemon ginger 🙂
I toss and turn a lot!

Mostly sleep like a log except when I am talking or having nightmares.
My husband snores and wakes me up! Maybe Snooz would help me to not be such a light sleeper 🙂
