How to Make Homemade Sleep Gummies

Stress, anxiety, and worries, there are a lot of things that keep us up at night. Sleep is not a luxury. It is a necessity. Yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that one in three Americans don’t get the recommended amount of sleep. If better sleep habits are on your list of New Year Resolutions, these homemade sleep gummies might be just the thing for you!

Sleep disturbances can impact your mood, energy levels, and overall health. Consistently missing out on sleep can increase your risk of developing significant health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

Are you interested in getting a better night’s rest? Homemade sleep gummies may be the answer. Infused products promising a more restful night are expensive and can include lots of sugar, artificial flavors, and preservatives. Skip the fillers and save money at the same time by making your own infused sleep gunnies at home with help from the LĒVO family of infusion products.

Infusing Oil at Home for Sleep Gummies

There are several natural botanicals that are known for their restful and sleep-inducing properties. The LĒVO family of infusion products can help you extract the properties of these botanicals and infuse them into honey, oil, or butter suitable for all your culinary needs.

The LĒVO C is a workhorse. It is designed to infuse large batches and includes a one-liter basin and jumbo power pod capable of holding one ounce of dried herb or flower. At LĒVO, we understand cooking for large groups can be messy and exhausting. All the LĒVO C components are non-toxic and 100% dishwasher safe, making clean-up easy whether you infuse at home or are running a small business.

The LĒVO II is one of the best all-purpose machines. It’s compact, sleek, and comes in a variety of colors. The interior reservoir can hold up to 16 ounces, perfect for crafting specialty batches of infused oil, butter, honey, or milk. What makes the LĒVO II unique is its two specialized cycles, the dry cycle, and the activate cycle. The dry cycle effectively removes moisture from your botanicals, helping to extend the shelf life of your final creation. The activate cycle helps prep certain herbs and flowers, unlocking their potency.

If luxury is what you seek, look no further than the LĒVO Lux. With its elegant selection of high-shine finishes, this is a kitchen appliance you’ll want to keep on display. The LĒVO Lux features a new and enhanced dry + cycle so you can get the most out of your botanicals. It also has precise time and temperature controls so that you can be sure your final product will come out as intended every time.

Using your LĒVO machine to make homemade sleep gummies is easy. Select the botanical or flower of your choice. Look for plants with relaxing and sleep-inducing properties. Do not grind the botanical too fine. You don’t want bits of plant material in your final product. Put your botanical of choice in the power pod. Double-up power pods if you want to increase the potency of your gummy. The LĒVO II and LĒVO Lux can accommodate up to two power pods. To increase the potency of your final product, you can also run the botanical through an activate cycle in your LĒVO machine.

Finally, add your oil of choice to the reservoir. Coconut oil and MCT oil are good options for gummies. Set your machine to the appropriate time and temperature, and you’ll be rewarded with an infused oil perfect for making homemade sleep gummies. You can also check out the LĒVO Infusion Calculator to find the correct time and temperature setting for the oil and botanical combination you wish to use.
