I know why this Cocoa Sleep Aid is boosting users’ sleep scores by 20+ points

I’m a skeptic when it comes to supplements.

As a health and wellness writer, I always have my doubts that something drug-free is going to be effective, especially sleep aids. After surviving the newborn trenches and spending years weaning myself off melatonin, I tried everything: lavender oil, chamomile tea, tart cherry juice. You name it.

But one natural sleep supplement on Amazon might have me sold. Reviewers say the KillSwitch sugar-free cocoa blend isn’t just delicious — it actually works. Dozens say it helps them drift off faster and wake up feeling refreshed. One user even reported their sleep score jumped 20 points after just one cup, reaching a range they hadn’t hit in the two years since they started tracking their sleep data.

“I have been collecting my sleep data for the past two years and, to my surprise, KillSwitch has elevated me to a sleep score of 93, which may not sound impressive to you, but for me… this is epic!!!” they raved. “My normal sleep score averaged in the 70s.”

Several others also reported similar improvements in their wearable sleep data. And when I dug deeper into the formula, it became clear why this one might work better than many others.

In my quest for a sleep supplement that actually worked, I have only found two ingredients effective: magnesium and L-theanine. Conveniently, both ingredients are used in KillSwitch’s Hot Cocoa.

There’s research to back it up. An animal model study from 2022 demonstrated that combining magnesium and L-theanine can effectively improve sleep disturbances and extend sleep duration.

KillSwitch’s formula is made in America, rigorously tested in independent labs and crafted in GMP-certified facilities. All you have to do is mix with warm milk or water and enjoy 30 minutes before bed.

And considering the selective ingredients and user testimonials, I say it’s worth a shot.
