Could The "Sleepy Girl Mocktail" Help With Migraines?
Bustle • • health
Key Points:
- The "sleepy girl mocktail," a TikTok viral drink made from tart cherry juice, magnesium powder, and a fizzy mixer, is gaining attention as a potential aid for migraine relief by promoting better sleep and reducing stress.
- Tart cherry juice contains compounds that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress while increasing melatonin and tryptophan, which may support restful sleep, a key factor in preventing migraines.
- Magnesium in the drink can help relax the body and improve sleep quality, and the additional fluids may help prevent dehydration, another common migraine trigger.
- While the drink may offer preventative benefits for some, it is not a guaranteed cure and may not work for everyone, especially if sleep, stress, or dehydration are not personal migraine triggers.
- Individuals should consult healthcare providers before adding magnesium supplements and consider possible side effects like nighttime bathroom trips or sensitivity to ingredients before trying the mocktail regularly.
