I wake up at 3am every night and don't want to take melatonin. What can I try?

Question

Noddie Night · Accepted Answer

If you often wake at 3am and want to avoid melatonin, options include a steady evening routine, a dim and cool room, and a caffeine-free herbal drink such as Noddie Night. It has chamomile, valerian root, skullcap, ashwagandha and blue vervain, no melatonin, and is sipped 20-30 minutes before bed. Talk to your doctor if it keeps happening.

Waking in the night has many possible causes, from stress and late meals to health conditions, so we can't say what is behind yours. If it happens most nights, or you feel unwell in the day, please see your doctor.

Noddie Night is a herbal dietary supplement, not a medicine, and we can't promise it will change your night. It is a small ritual: one 4 fl oz serving, half of the 8 fl oz bottle, with no caffeine and no alcohol. It may cause drowsiness, so do not drive or operate machinery after use.

It is for adults 18+ and is not for use during pregnancy. If you are nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, talk to your doctor first. Our blog has a plain-language article on night waking, and the shop has current 2026 prices at noddienight.com/#shop.
