A full night’s rest can help get your day off to a good start.

And because sometimes, everyone has trouble getting and staying asleep (thanks, anxiety) it’s helpful to have a natural sleep aid on your bed stand.

However, not all natural sleep supplements are vegan-friendly; quite a few over-the-counter options contain animal by-products. We’ve curated a list of 7 plant-based sleep aids, and because they are free from animal-derived ingredients you can drift off to dreamland ASAP without having to count sheep.
