“Night shifts used to wipe me out for days. SOMNO has become the part of my post-shift routine that I genuinely look forward to. It tastes like a proper cocoa, helps me settle after work, and I wake up feeling much more human.”

ONE RITUAL, DIFFERENT SCHEDULES
Built for irregular schedules.
SOMNO gives you one consistent wind-down ritual when your schedule is anything but consistent.

The Problem: Alert Mode
Your shift ends. Your body stays on alert.
Night and rotating shifts disrupt your body’s natural stress, wake, sleep and recovery signals. Even when you’re exhausted, your body can struggle to switch off — leaving you restless at bedtime and drained when you wake.

What the Experts Say
1 — 7 2 — 7 3 — 7 4 — 7 5 — 7 6 — 7 7 — 7
Dr Arjun Patel
GP
The formula is transparent enough to assess properly
« For me, transparency is the first thing. I want to know exactly what is in a product and how much of each ingredient is being used. Here, the key ingredients and doses are clearly stated, which makes the formula much easier to assess, especially when it's intended to support wind-down and recovery. »
Sarah Mitchell
Holistic Nutritionist
The formula is built around complementary roles
« What I like is that the formula isn't trying to do everything with one ingredient. Some ingredients support winding down, others stress response, physical settling or recovery. That makes it feel more like a complete system than a collection of popular sleep ingredients. »
Dr James Bennett
Sleep Specialist
Several key ingredients are used at research-relevant doses
« The dosing is what caught my attention. L-theanine at 200 mg and glycine at 3,000 mg are both in the territory of amounts used in human research. For a sleep-focused formula, that matters far more than simply having familiar ingredients on the label. »
Emma Richardson
Nutritional Therapist
These aren't token amounts added for the label
« You often see good ingredients in supplements, but when you look at the amounts, there simply isn't much there. Glycine at 3,000 mg, KSM-66® ashwagandha at 600 mg and L-theanine at 200 mg are meaningful inclusions, which makes the formula much more interesting from a wind-down and recovery perspective. »
Michael Turner
Naturopath
The formula supports the body's natural calming pathways
« From a naturopathic perspective, I'm interested in ingredients that interact with the body's own calming systems rather than simply trying to sedate it. L-theanine, lemon balm and passionflower are all commonly discussed in relation to GABA activity, which is one reason they make sense together in a wind-down formula. »
Priya Sharma
Ayurvedic Practitioner
The combination matters as much as the individual ingredients
« I'm less interested in one ‘hero’ ingredient than in how the whole formula comes together. Ashwagandha has a long traditional history, but here it sits alongside minerals, amino acids and other botanicals. That layered approach is what makes the formulation more considered. »
Li Wei
Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner
A balanced formula should not depend on one pathway
« From a traditional medicine perspective, I look for balance rather than a single dominant ingredient. This formula brings together botanicals, amino acids and minerals with different roles, creating a broader approach to winding down and recovery. »

The welcome kit surprised me
I honestly thought the free extras would be a bit gimmicky. They’re not. After an overnight flight I’m often sleeping in daylight, and the mask is comfortable enough to leave on without fiddling with it. The frother gets the drink smooth, and the whole kit feels properly considered. I’ve ended up using all of it.

Finally sleeping properly after 8 months of nights
8 months into doing nights. Used to get home after a shift still running handover in my head for ages. Somno gave me a full stop after work so I could actually rest and recover before my next shift. The cocoa taste helps too — feels like a proper ritual rather than taking another supplement.

In my carry-on now
I spend enough time living out of a suitcase. The pouch packs flat and doesn’t take over my bag. Nice to have something familiar on stopovers.

Leo A.
No joke, best sleep I’ve had in years
No joke, this is probably the best sleep I've had in years. I wake up feeling human again. I've tried everything — melatonin, magnesium, sleep sprays. Nothing worked consistently with my schedule. Somno is the first thing that helps me wind down regardless of what time zone I'm coming from.
jet lagIsla T.
A familiar routine in another hotel
Another early pickup tomorrow and I’m in yet another hotel room. I leave the pouch by the bedside so I don’t forget it after a long duty. It’s one small bit of my own routine I can take from one city to the next.

Rachel A.
Woke up rested, not half-asleep
I tried melatonin gummies for years but they left me groggy and dependent. Somno feels natural — I wake up rested, not half-asleep. My body actually seems to know it’s time to wind down when I make the drink. The ritual aspect matters more than I expected.

Changes your whole face — in the best way
After night shifts my body wouldn’t switch off even when I was exhausted. Four weeks on Somno and I look different — less puffy, less grey. People keep asking if I’ve been on holiday. I haven’t. I’ve just been sleeping properly for the first time in two years.

Actually nice
Thought it might taste like supplements. It doesn’t.

Marcus D.
Nervous system finally calms down after 14-hour days
Drive nights three times a week. Always felt wired even when physically drained. The ashwagandha and lemon balm in this genuinely seem to lower the background tension — I can feel it working within 30 minutes. Nothing else I’ve tried has done that.
cortisolJoanne L.
My days off feel like days off
Three back-to-back nights can leave me feeling like I’ve missed half the week. I started making a cup once I’m home and it’s become a useful signal that work is finished. I like the flavour, and I’m glad it isn’t overly sweet.
nursing
Sophie R.
The only thing that’s worked consistently
Tried every sleep supplement on the market. They either did nothing or made me feel drowsy the next shift, which when you’re in ICU is not an option. Somno is the first thing that actually works without leaving me impaired. Non-negotiable part of my routine now.

Good, just mild
I’d prefer a stronger cocoa taste, personally.

Stopped dreading bedtime
As a founder my brain refuses to stop. Deadlines, decisions, emails I haven’t replied to — all running on loop at 1am. Somno is the first thing that’s genuinely helped me flip the switch. I make it an hour before I want to sleep and something actually changes.
cortisolJude A.
Finally a practical routine
Our rota can flip halfway through the week. I don’t want a complicated bedtime checklist on top of it. This is a straightforward thing I can do when I get home.

Perfect after a long-haul — finally
Land from a transatlantic, body clock completely destroyed, need to sleep when everything says don't. Used to take ages to fall asleep. Now I make Somno on the hotel kettle and I'm out within the hour. Genuinely changed how I recover between trips.

Recommended to three colleagues already
I recommended this to three colleagues after they noticed I stopped looking like death after night calls. The taste is genuinely nice — warm cocoa, not medicinal. And the effect is real. I wake up feeling like I've actually slept, not just horizontal for 6 hours.

End of the road
After a long run I want to park up, eat and switch off. Making a warm cup feels better than scrolling around for another hour.

Took two weeks to kick in but worth it
First two weeks I wasn't sure it was working. Then I ran out and had three terrible nights. Reordered immediately. It clearly needs to build up but once it does the difference is real.

An easy wind-down habit after nights in emerg.

First proper sleep in 18 months
Between the shifts and the new baby I haven't slept properly in 18 months. Three weeks later I'm sleeping deeper in whatever window I get. The nervous system explanation actually clicked for me — this isn't a sedative, it's a reset.
recoveryOwen P.
Works on the rig, works at home
Work three weeks on, three weeks off. The body clock never fully adjusts either way. Somno has become my transition ritual — I use it on the first few nights of each rotation and it genuinely shortens the adjustment period.

Very happy overall
The powder sometimes catches around the edge of my mug unless I use the frother. Once mixed, it’s smooth and tastes great. I’m usually rushing to get upstairs before the rest of the house wakes, so I’d rather not spend ages stirring. The little whisk does the job, and I’ll keep using it.

I actually finish the pouch
I’ve left too many wellness products half used. This one makes sense for how I live and it doesn’t feel like medicine. My partner laughs that I’ve become particular about how much milk I add, but honestly I like having a small routine after a night checking cameras and doors.

Mark V.
Something I can do anywhere
When I’m home between trips, my schedule is never quite the same. I make SOMNO with warm milk and sit down for twenty minutes instead of jumping straight into chores. The taste is gentle and it’s a very easy routine to keep up.

Erin C.
Nice on layovers
I like bringing it on multi-day pairings, but I wish there were single-serve sachets for the nights when my carry-on is already packed tight. No complaints about the blend itself. It tastes good mixed with hotel-room milk, and the routine travels well.

Not another complicated health thing
At 47, I’m past buying products that need a spreadsheet to use. When we finish a rough overnight callout, I want to get home and settle. This is one scoop, a decent drink, then I can get on with my day. It’s refreshingly uncomplicated.
first responders
Anika R.
A different sort of end to shift
I used to get home after twelve hours and immediately start answering messages because I was still in work mode. Now I make a cup, sit by the window and give myself a little time. It’s a simple habit, but I enjoy having that separation.

Sarah K.
Really pleased, one small thing
I’m a fairly impatient person when I get home from a late turn. I didn’t realise the first time that the frother worked better if I added the powder gradually. Since then it’s been great. Smooth drink, good flavour and an easy addition to the routine.
police

Good for people with ridiculous hours
My team clock out when most people are just starting their morning. I don’t pretend to have a perfect sleep schedule, and I’m not looking for a miracle fix. What I do like is a drink that feels calming to prepare and doesn’t taste like a supplement.
warehouse
Lucy P.
Better than an extra coffee
I used to make another coffee automatically when I got home, even if I was going straight to bed. Daft habit, really. Having something warm and cocoa-flavoured instead has been a welcome change. It tastes more grown-up than hot chocolate and isn’t too rich.
hospital
Michael G.
One minor gripe
The box looked a little battered after shipping, so I was worried when I opened it. Everything inside was fine and the pouch was sealed. I’ve enjoyed using it between cargo rotations and would order it again. A sturdier outer carton would make it five stars.
aviation
Grace D.
Exactly the sort of routine I can manage
Some nights on the ward are quiet until they really aren’t. By the time I get home, I’ve no interest in counting out different supplements. I just want a shower, a cup of something nice and a dark room. SOMNO slots into that without any fuss.
midwifery
Sean B.
Would happily reorder
I’m enjoying it with oat milk, especially on my weeks of midnight dispatch. My only tiny complaint is that the resealable top takes a bit of care if I’ve got powder on my hands. Otherwise the pouch is tidy, the drink is pleasant and the format works for me.
rail
Beth A.
A good find after night shifts
I was sceptical because every sleep product seems to have a dramatic story attached to it. This is simply a nice drink that I can make after a demanding shift. I’m happy with the ingredients, the taste and the little routine I’ve built around it. That’s plenty for me.
