It’s 5:45 am and I’m revitalizing myself with a SECOND round of coffee. Please tell me that I’m not the only one who comatose-ly wakes up in the middle of the night to drink water only to have their brain check in mid-gulp to remind them of all the things that they have to do that day thus tragically leading to the demise of their sleep. Why weren’t naps cool when I was a kid?

1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 Cup of Raw Cacao Powder
