New time zones, hotel rooms and sleepovers throw everyone's bedtime off. Here's how the Family Sleep To-Go Duo works and how to use melatonin safely with kids.
Written by Vita Globe Editorial Team | Reviewed against peer-reviewed research and NIH guidance
What's in the Family Sleep To-Go Duo?
Adult Melatonin 5mg pouches plus Kids' Melatonin 1mg pouches, each dosed for its age group. Melatonin may help with jet lag and some short-term sleep problems, and it appears safe for short-term use.[1]
Caveat: Talk to your pediatrician before giving melatonin to a child. It's not a substitute for good sleep habits and isn't meant for nightly, long-term use.[1]

Why these two are bundled together
Travel disrupts everyone's sleep, not just the grown-ups'. This duo packs our Melatonin 5mg pouches with our Kids' Melatonin 1mg pouches so each person gets the dose made for them. Pick a 10 or 24 pouch box for each.
Melatonin for adults
Melatonin is a hormone your body makes when it gets dark. As a supplement, it may help with jet lag and some short-term sleep issues.[1] Side effects are usually mild, like headache or next-day sleepiness.[1]
Melatonin for kids: what parents should know
Less research has been done on melatonin in children, and experts recommend talking to a pediatrician first.[1] Our kids' gummies are a low 1mg dose. Store them like medicine, out of reach, and always hand them out yourself.
Start with the basics: a consistent bedtime, a calm routine and screens off before bed. For more, see How to Help Kids With Nighttime Fears.
