The Fall Asleep + Stay Asleep Combo is built for people whose nights go wrong at both ends: it takes a long time to fall asleep, and the sleep doesn't hold. It brings together the Fall Asleep Stack and the Stay Asleep Stack as one evening routine.
The falling-asleep side is Sleep Formula, Magnesium Glycinate and Ashwagandha. Sleep Formula combines 10mg of melatonin with a calming blend of botanicals and amino acids and is the quickest-acting part. Ashwagandha is studied for lowering stress and cortisol over several weeks, and a randomised trial found improved sleep quality.
The staying-asleep side is 5-HTP, Saffron Extract and Magnesium Glycinate. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, and a 12-week randomised trial in older adults found benefits in some sleep measures. Randomised trials of standardised saffron extract in adults with poor sleep found improvements in sleep quality. Magnesium Glycinate is shared by both sides, and a 2025 randomised trial of magnesium bisglycinate found a modest improvement in insomnia severity after four weeks.
The routine runs through the day and evening: Ashwagandha in the daytime, 5-HTP before dinner, then Ashwagandha, Sleep Formula, Saffron and Magnesium as bedtime approaches. Saffron and Magnesium are taken together, so there's no extra timing to remember. Give the full routine a month, as Ashwagandha, Saffron and Magnesium build over two to four weeks.
