How much melatonin should I take?

Evidence generally supports much lower doses than most retail bottles contain, and timing matters more than dose. Aura explains the reasoning for your situation, and your clinician should confirm it.

Is Aura sleep guidance medical advice?

No. Aura is an educational product-recommendation service. It cross-references clinical sources such as Mayo Clinic, MedlinePlus and the AAD, and it flags when a licensed provider is the right next step — but it does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe.

How much does Aura cost?

Aura is $29 per month, or $199 per year. One membership covers all ten areas, includes 60 credits a month, and can be cancelled at any time.

Do you earn commission on the products you recommend?

No. Essence takes no brand money, sponsorships, or commission. Products are ranked by fit to your inputs, and your subscription is our only revenue.

Sleep

A sleep routine built from your actual night

Aura asks how your nights really go — when you fall asleep, what wakes you, what you drink and when — then builds a routine covering light exposure, caffeine timing, bedroom environment and the small set of sleep supplements with evidence behind them.

Inside your routine

What you actually get

Timing, first

Wake time, morning light, caffeine cut-off and last meal — the levers that move sleep most and cost nothing.

Environment fixes

Temperature, darkness, sound and bedding, with specific products only where a product genuinely helps.

Supplements with evidence

Melatonin dosed correctly (far lower than most bottles), magnesium, glycine — and the ones to skip.

When it is medical

Loud snoring, gasping, or daytime sleepiness despite adequate hours gets a clear pointer to a sleep evaluation.

Every sleep routine is generated from your own intake — goals, biology, budget and preferences. Start your intake or read how credits and usage work before you subscribe.

Most sleep products solve the wrong problem

Gadgets and gummies sell well because behaviour change does not. Aura leads with the free changes and recommends products only when they add something.

Sleep drives everything else

Focus, appetite, skin and training all degrade with poor sleep, so Aura folds sleep into routines across other categories too.

Watch it improve

Track sleep check-ins and see which change produced the first good week.
