Shoppers comparing Hush and SugarBear Sleep are usually deciding how much melatonin they want in a nightly gummy and what else in the formula is doing the work. Hush Sleep Gummies deliver a deliberate 0.35 mg micro-dose of melatonin per gummy, supported by L-theanine, reishi and passion flower, with 20 gummies in every cream tin and one gummy as one serving. It is $40, third-party tested, made in the USA, and backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. This page describes only how Hush is built — we do not restate any other brand's dose, ingredients, or serving information.
The melatonin number is the whole decision
Almost every meaningful difference between two sleep gummies traces back to one figure: how much melatonin is in a serving. That number decides how the product feels at 10pm, and more importantly, how you feel at 7am.
Melatonin is not a sedative. It is a timing signal, the hormone your body releases as light drops to tell your system the night has started. Used as a signal, a small amount is enough. Larger amounts do not so much improve the message as shout it, and the complaints that follow are familiar across the category: the heavy head in the morning, the strange vivid dreams, the sense of having been switched off rather than rested.
Hush is built on the other approach. Every gummy carries a precise 0.35 mg micro-dose of melatonin. That is a deliberate number, not a rounding error: enough to give the body a clear nighttime cue, small enough that you are not carrying it into the next morning. If the melatonin hangover is what sent you looking for an alternative, the dose is the thing you were actually shopping for. We cover the reasoning in our guide to low-dose melatonin gummies.
What supports the micro-dose matters just as much
A small melatonin dose only works if the rest of the formula does real work. A gummy that cuts the melatonin and puts nothing behind it has not solved anything. Hush pairs the micro-dose with three botanicals chosen for the part of the night melatonin does not address: the mind that will not stop running.
L-theanine
An amino acid found naturally in tea leaves, L-theanine is associated with a calm, settled kind of alertness rather than drowsiness. It is in Hush because falling asleep is rarely a lighting problem. It is usually a mental one, and L-theanine addresses the settling rather than the sedating. Our L-theanine for sleep guide goes deeper on why it belongs in a nighttime formula.
Reishi
Reishi is the functional mushroom most closely tied to evening rituals across traditional practice, which is precisely why it sits in a nighttime formula rather than a morning one. It is the quiet, grounding note in the blend.
Passion flower
Passion flower has a long history in calming teas and bedtime preparations. In Hush it rounds out the botanical side of the formula, so the gummy supports the wind-down as a whole rather than only flipping a circadian switch.
One gummy, one serving, no math at bedtime
Serving size is the detail most shoppers skim, and it is the one that quietly breaks comparisons. When one product's serving is two or three gummies and another's is one, every per-serving number on the two panels is being stated on a different basis.
Hush removes that problem entirely. One gummy is one serving. Each cream tin holds 20 gummies, which is 20 servings, and the dose printed on the panel is the dose you are taking. Nothing to divide at 10:30pm, nothing to recalculate when you are deciding whether a tin is good value, and no discovering three weeks in that the tin is emptying twice as fast as you planned.
Sugar, sweeteners and the nightly ritual
Because these are gummies, sweetener is part of the product rather than an afterthought, and it is worth being clear about what a nightly one adds up to. Hush is one gummy a night, so whatever the panel says is a single serving's worth — not two or three servings stacked to hit the dose. That keeps the nightly sugar contribution as small as the format allows.
If you are sensitive to sugar alcohols such as maltitol, the sweetener line on any nightly gummy is worth a look before you commit to it, because for some people that ingredient matters more to overnight comfort than the actives do.
Worth knowing. Hush is a nighttime supplement, not a medication. If you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription sedatives or other medication, or managing a health condition, talk to your healthcare provider before adding melatonin or botanicals to your routine. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a condition, speak with a qualified healthcare professional before starting.
Testing, sourcing and what backs the tin
A sleep gummy is something you are meant to take most nights, which raises the bar on who makes it. Hush is third-party tested and made in the USA. Third-party testing means an independent lab confirms the contents rather than the brand verifying its own work, and it is the clearest signal that a company stands behind what it prints on the panel. Every order also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, free shipping on orders over $60, and subscribe and save with cancel anytime.
Price and what a tin actually costs per night
Hush is $40 for 20 servings. Because one gummy is one serving, that works out to a flat $2 a night with no serving-size math attached, which is the point. It is a premium position and we would rather say so than dress it up. The better question than "which is cheaper" is "which one leaves me functional tomorrow." A cheaper gummy that costs you your morning is not cheaper, and that is exactly the trade a micro-dose formula is designed to avoid.
A precise 0.35 mg melatonin micro-dose per gummy with L-theanine, reishi and passion flower. 20 gummies per cream tin, one gummy per serving. Third-party tested, made in the USA, 30-day money-back guarantee. Built for people who want the night without losing the morning.
Which one fits your night
If you have never had a problem with a conventional melatonin gummy and you simply want something familiar, whatever is already on your pharmacy shelf will serve you fine. If you have tried that route and woken up foggy, or you want a formula that treats melatonin as a signal rather than a switch, Hush was built for you. That is the whole design intent: a night that works without costing you the morning. Try a tin for 30 nights, and if it is not your product the guarantee makes that easy.
