Spacegoods launched Sleep+, an upgraded evening formula that builds on its earlier Astro Dust product. The caffeine-free chocolate drink is pitched less as a sleep aid and more as a night-time ritual, and makes Spacegoods the first UK drink-format brand to bring the ingredient PeptiSleep to market.

At its heart is PeptiSleep, a plant peptide derived from brown rice and discovered through Nuritas's AI-led platform. The brand cites a 2024 controlled study in which adults with mild-to-moderate sleep impairment taking 250mg daily recorded a 17% increase in deep sleep, 13% more REM sleep and 38 extra minutes of sleep a night. It sits alongside a tri-blend of magnesium, reishi and maitake extracts, L-glycine, L-tryptophan, chamomile, Montmorency cherry and lemon balm.
"We wanted Sleep+ to feel less like a traditional sleep supplement and more like something you genuinely look forward to taking at the end of the day," said founder Matt Kelly.
Sleep+ is available now from Spacegoods.com in a 30-serving pouch at £34.
