Melatonin-free sleep vitamins for kids and teens?

[White Cricket]

Does anyone have a magic concoction to help kids and teens to wind down at night? Specifically looking for something without melatonin!

[Mama2Many]

We have used calm gummies - I believe they are magnesium and we have had some success with calming their little minds to help them rest. Sleep is so important for both our kiddos and for us too...I hope you find something that helps!

My kids do really well with RelaxMax. It's a magnesium powder you dissolve in water (or any liquid). I feel like it helps their muscle aches at night when they are growing too.

I can tell you what not to do (equally as helpful?). I just bought an expensive AF magnesium spray to spray on my kid’s feet and legs before bed and they say it itches and refuse to use it. The pharmacist said it tingles so maybe thats the “itching” sensation…who knows, but never again

Calm gummies. But I have also used melatonin for a kiddo who has a very active brain. Not every night but when she can't shut her brain off. Per her functional medicine doctor it is much more important for her to sleep. So using it periodically is fine.

I recently bought Hiya night time vitamins with magnesium but it’s hard to say how much it works. It might help a little. My 3-year old son still has the zoomies and wants to party at bedtime every night.

Mary Ruth's L-theanine and magnesium combo

We have used Mary Ruth non-melatonin sleep gummies, calm magnesium powder and also recently the Bio Ray Sleepy drops. Their Immune drops really helped my kids stay healthy more this fall. I just mix it with OJ in like 10ML.

We love magnesium oil every night we rub on the bottom of their feet and down their spine. This is a great non toxic brand we love: https://www.rowecasaorganics.com/products/magnesium-cream-4-oz?_pos=1&_sid=916153fc9&_ss=r&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAst67BhCEARIsAKKdWOnZhaR2zMNDFtnpzWqr684nb2KAzej2XthNXlF90QIksFF0JSFGcOQaAoXeEALw_wcB
