Why Am I Wide Awake at 3AM? (And What Helped Me Fix It)
Let’s talk about sleep.

Or... the lack of it.

I don’t know about you, but as I get older, staying asleep feels like an Olympic sport. First, it’s the bathroom wake-ups. Then, the brain decides it’s time to solve all of life’s problems between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. Before you know it, you’re staring at the ceiling wondering how it’s already time for the alarm to go off.
For the longest time, I thought melatonin supplements were the go-to fix for sleep struggles. And sure, they can help in a pinch—but here's the thing: your body already knows how to make melatonin on its own. When you start taking melatonin too often, especially the synthetic kind, it can actually throw off your body’s natural rhythm. Over time, your system may slow down its own production because it’s getting it from an outside source. That didn’t sit right with me—so I started looking for a better, more natural option.


This little gem was created by the brilliant research and development team at Young Living. It’s a melatonin-free supplement made with natural ingredients that support your body’s own ability to get restful sleep—without messing up your sleep cycles or leaving you groggy the next day.

Now, I’m not a sciency person (and I won’t pretend to be), but I can tell you how well this works for me.
On nights when I’ve had a rough day, didn’t sleep well the night before, or I just feel wired for no reason, I’ll take two capsules at bedtime. About 40 minutes later, I’m drifting off into dreamland—and sometimes I don’t even wake up for my usual bathroom break. Crazy, right?

Even if I do wake up, I can fall right back asleep. And I wake up actually feeling rested and ready to go. Well… as ready to go to work as one can be, am I right?
I don’t take it every single night because I like to keep my supplement routine minimal, but Deep Night Essence is safe for long-term, daily use—so if you want that consistent sleep support, you’re good to go.

So, what makes it work?
