our story

SO HERE'S THE DRIFT
Like a lot of people, I had come to rely on drinking to help unwind at night. But when my 3 a.m. insomnia became a regular thing, I found myself stuck in a cycle: tired in the morning, over-caffeinated all day, wired at night, and —no surprise— reaching for another drink to help unwind the next night. Sound familiar?
Cutting back on alcohol greatly helped improve my sleep, but I still missed that comforting nightcap ritual. So I dove into the world of functional botanicals, adaptogens, and natural supplements— becoming a sort of sleep mixologist by swapping out the alcohol and sugar for better options that aligned with my health.
That’s how driftology was born: a way to unwind and relax, using proven ingredients from both tradition and science, without sacrificing the great taste of a nightcap— nor a great night’s sleep.
Can't wait to share it with you.
