The non-negotiables
House rules.
Most "family-friendly" sleep stuff is a melatonin gummy with a cute label. We started over from the ingredient list. Here’s what we held onto.
02
Zero melatonin. On purpose.
Winks contains no melatonin. Its formula includes magnesium bisglycinate, L-theanine, and tart cherry.
03
Formulated by Dr. Todd Born.
Dr. Born is a naturopathic physician, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and Winks Formulating Advisor.
04
For kids 4+.
Follow the serving directions on the pouch. Talk with your pediatrician if you have questions.
05
Tastes like a treat. Reads like a supplement.
10 calories. 0g sugar. The good night, in a sachet.

The routine
8:30 means 8:30.
1
8:30 PM
Tear, pour, stir.
One stick into a glass of cold water. Half a stick for kids. Mascot supervises.
2
8:35 PM
Sip together.
Read a chapter, brush teeth, do the song. The grown-up version of the same drink, taken at the same time.
3
9:00 PM
Lights down. For real.
Magnesium + L-theanine quietly do their thing. You both wake up un-groggy.
Bedtime, by the people in it
The whole family sleeps better when mom does.
Ages 4–8
The Negotiator
Half a stick at 7:45. Asleep by the second song. Witchcraft, basically.
Ages 9–14
The Tween
Said it tastes like a real grape. From a tween, that’s high praise.
Ages 25–55
The Co-Pilot
Out by 10:30. My screen-time report is, frankly, embarrassed.
Ages 55+
The Grandparent
No melatonin hangover. I sleep through. The visit goes better.
The Winks framework
Sleep isn't one switch. It's four.
Most sleep aids pick one lever. Winks supports all four — the systems that have to align before real sleep happens.

Questions, mostly about sleep
Everything a careful mom would ask.
Winks contains no melatonin. Instead, its ten-ingredient formula includes magnesium bisglycinate, L-theanine, tart cherry, lemon balm, and passion flower. Every ingredient and amount is listed on the pouch.
Winks is for ages 4 and up. Follow the serving directions on the pouch, and talk with your pediatrician if you have questions about whether it fits your child’s routine.
Most people feel a wind-down in 20–30 minutes.* It’s not a sledgehammer — it’s a soft landing. Take it 30 minutes before lights-out.
It tastes like a real grape — not like cough syrup, not like a candy bracelet. 9 out of 10 kids in our home trial finished the glass. The 10th one was, in their parent’s words, "winning a different war."
Yes. Goodnight Grape is gluten-free and soy-free. Its allergen panel lists none of the nine major U.S. food allergens. If you have a severe allergy, check the pouch before use.
Since everyone’s situation is unique, speak with your healthcare provider before taking Winks if you are planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or nursing.

K
Perimenopause Mama here to say that "I'M FINALLY SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!" - i've been so excited to wake up and NOT see 3am on my clock every night! There are absolutely zero side effects; I wake up refreshed, have zero crazy dreams, it tastes great... and not only does it keep me asleep, it helps me fall asleep too! Thank you WINKS - you're a miracle purple drink for this busy mom!
A
This product is fantastic! It tastes amazing, and I’ve never slept better.
K
This really worked. I followed the directions and recommended dosage. It helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. The taste is fine, if you like grape you will probably love it. I really like that they are NO sugar added. I would recommend Winks if you are in the market for a product like this.
M
I slept so good and woke up so refreshed! Amazing!!!!
A
I am a night owl through and through but have been wanting to prioritize my sleep! Winks has helped me fall asleep and improved my oura sleep score! Highly would recommend! It's also only 8oz to drink so it's very quick and easy!
C
Great sleep without feeling groggy the next day. Haven't had a non-melatonin sleep aid before so I was really pleased with the taste and function I got from Winks! Fun packaging too ;)
A
Okay… Winks does NOT play around 😂😴
If you’re looking for something to help you wind down and get some serious sleep, this is definitely worth trying!
M
I love this stuff. Taste is great and my mornings have been so much easier not being groggy or tired. Game changer,
