A ready-to-drink sleep shot that publishes its melatonin dose: 5mg, which is a real dose and on the higher side of what sleep research tends to favour.
Dream Well is a 12 or 24 pack of guava sleep shots taken about 30 minutes before bed. The formula is melatonin at 5mg per serving alongside glycine, lemon balm, jujube extract and evodia rutaecarpa extract.
The reason it earns a card is that the dose is on the label. A large share of the sleep-drink category sells a blend without ever saying how much of anything is in it, and a product you cannot dose-check is a product you cannot compare. More Labs publishes the melatonin figure outright.
Worth knowing about that 5mg, because more is not better here. The sleep literature generally finds low doses effective, often in the 0.5mg to 3mg range, and higher doses are more associated with next-day grogginess rather than better sleep. Five is a normal retail dose and it is not a warning sign, but if you already take melatonin separately, read the label before stacking. We report the dose; the choice is a conversation for you and your clinician.
More Labs cites its own consumer study on this product: 76% of participants fell asleep within 30 minutes and 62% reported sleeping deeper than usual. That is a consumer study, not a controlled trial, and we report it as the brand's own figure rather than as evidence. The company does hold a genuine randomised controlled trial, but that trial is on Morning Recovery, a different product, and it does not transfer to this one.
Where it lands: a convenient, honestly-labelled format at $3.00 to $3.50 a serving. That is a premium over a melatonin capsule doing the melatonin part alone, so you are paying for the format and the supporting botanicals.
Anyone who wants a grab-and-go sleep format with the melatonin dose printed rather than hidden inside a proprietary blend, and who prefers a drink to a capsule at bedtime.
You want the lowest effective melatonin dose, where a 0.5mg to 1mg capsule costs a fraction of this. Also skip if you already take melatonin, since 5mg on top of an existing dose is the wrong way to add it.

More Labs Dream Well - buyer FAQ
How much melatonin is in Dream Well?
Five milligrams per serving, published on the product page and verified 2026-08-17. That is a standard retail dose and on the higher side of what sleep research tends to favour, since much of the literature finds 0.5mg to 3mg effective and associates larger doses more with next-day grogginess than with better sleep. If you already supplement melatonin, check the combined total before adding this.
What else is in it besides melatonin?
Glycine, lemon balm, jujube extract and evodia rutaecarpa extract, per the brand product page verified 2026-08-17. More Labs publishes the melatonin amount specifically. The individual amounts of the botanicals are not broken out, so treat those as present rather than dosed.
What does Dream Well cost per serving?
The 12-pack is $42 against a $48 compare-at, which is $3.50 a shot. The 24-pack is $72 against $96, which is $3.00. Verified 2026-08-17. Compare that per-shot number against a melatonin capsule rather than comparing pack prices, because the capsule doing the melatonin part alone costs cents.
Is the clinical study on Dream Well?
No, and the distinction matters. More Labs ran a multi-site, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled and IRB-approved trial, but that trial tested Morning Recovery, their pre-alcohol product. What exists for Dream Well is a consumer study the brand reports itself: 76% fell asleep within 30 minutes and 62% reported deeper sleep. We report that as the brand's figure, not as controlled evidence.
