The herbs formulated in Urban Moonshine’s Hit the Hay work with both the mind and the body, setting the stage for a restful night’s sleep. Hit the Hay formula was built around Passionflower, allowing the mind to “gently relax without knocking you out”. California Poppy helps to calm the mind while Kava Root supports a relaxed nervous system. They topped it off with Hops to support feeling restful, quickly.

Hit the Hay is a bedside companion that benefits greatly with a healthy nighttime routine. This can include drinking tea, taking a bath, and avoiding screen time before bed. Herbalists at Urban Moonshine also encourage eating good food, taking adaptogenic herbs, avoiding excess caffeine, moving your body, drinking plenty of water and taking deep breaths throughout the day.
