After years of chasing productivity hacks, I finally learned the hard truth: you can’t optimize your way out of poor sleep.
I used to end my nights with a glass of wine or a whiskey—something to help me “wind down.” And it worked. At least, I thought it did. I’d fall asleep quickly, but I’d wake up groggy, moody, and somehow still tired.
It turns out, alcohol might knock you out, but it doesn’t help you rest. It disrupts REM sleep, fragments your sleep cycle, and can even raise cortisol (your stress hormone) as it wears off. Basically, I was sedating myself—not sleeping.
So I stopped drinking before bed. But then came the hard part—what do I replace it with?
That’s when I found Evening Being by VERSO.
A New Kind of Nightcap
Evening Being is a melatonin-free drink mix designed for people who want to relax, sleep deeply, and wake up clear—not groggy. It’s warm and citrusy, with soothing notes of honey, ginger, and lemon. Think: comforting tea, but backed by science.
															It took three years to perfect the formula and it includes clinically studied ingredients that support your nervous system, reduce stress, and actually improve sleep quality—without knocking you out or messing with your hormones.
What’s Inside (and Why It Matters)
															Most sleep supplements are built on vague proprietary blends, cheap fillers, and ingredients that barely move the needle. Evening Being is different. Think of it as the Rolls Royce of nighttime formulas—built with clinically proven ingredients that don’t just help you fall asleep, but support long-term brain health, stress resilience, and deep, natural rest. Every ingredient earns its place. No fluff, no shortcuts.
- Glycine – This amino acid helps your body cool down at night—a key signal that it’s time for sleep. Clinical studies show glycine can help you fall asleep faster, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling refreshed and mentally sharp. It doesn’t knock you out—it works with your body to support natural, restorative sleep.
 - L-Theanine (AlphaWave®) – A purified form of L-theanine that helps calm racing thoughts and lower stress without making you drowsy. It increases alpha brain wave activity—linked to a relaxed, focused state—and has been shown to reduce cortisol and improve sleep quality, especially when taken before bed.
 - Saffron (Affron®) – This clinically studied extract has been shown to improve sleep quality by up to 25%, ease anxiety, and lift mood—even in healthy adults. It may also support natural melatonin production, helping your body regulate its own sleep-wake cycle gently and effectively.
 - Magnesium L-Threonate (Magtein®) – A brain-targeting form of magnesium that supports sleep, memory, and stress resilience. Unlike other forms, Magtein® crosses the blood-brain barrier to raise magnesium levels in the brain—helping to calm the nervous system and support deeper, more consistent sleep over time.
 
Evening Being isn’t just a sleep drink—it’s a nightly ritual that actually works. Sure, it’s a premium formula, but when I did the math, it came out to just $2.16 a night (I got their bundle deal). For something that helps me unwind, sleep deeply, and wake up clear-headed, that feels like a no-brainer. Honestly, I’ve spent more on drinks that left me feeling worse the next day. This one sets me up to feel better. Every. Single. Morning.
Why I Switched—and Stayed
I started using Evening Being as a wind-down ritual. About 30-60 minutes before bed, I make it warm and sip it slowly. It’s the cue my brain needed to shift gears from go mode to rest mode.
															The biggest difference? I don’t just fall asleep—I stay asleep. And I don’t wake up with that melatonin hangover or the wired-tired feeling I used to get with other sleep aids.
And instead of reaching for a drink at night, I actually look forward to making my Evening Being. It’s become the ritual I crave.
Designed for People Who Want More from Their Sleep
Evening Being is non-habit-forming and free from melatonin, GABA, and valerian root—compounds that can cause drowsiness, dependency, or morning fog. It’s made for people who care about longevity, mental clarity, and high performance—people who want a better way to unwind.
															How I Use It
Every night, I make my Evening Being, turn off the overhead lights, and read or stretch while I sip. It’s become the ritual I look forward to—a reset that signals to my body, “You’re safe. You can rest now.”
															Your Bedtime Routine Just Got an Upgrade
In a world where stress runs high and quality sleep feels out of reach, Evening Being offers something different—a calm, intentional way to unwind that actually works. With its carefully selected, clinically backed ingredients, this soothing nightcap helps turn restless nights into restorative ones.
