After nearly a decade of exploding energy drink sales, a new batch of relaxation tonics is creeping onto store shelves in the city - one drowsy shot at a time.
The nonalcoholic drinks with slumbering names like iChill, RelaxZen and Dream Water are marketed to teens trying to wind down or adults who have trouble falling asleep.
"I was knocked out cold," said NYU senior Mona Asinovski, 20, after drinking a 2.5-ounce Dream Water. "It's a very powerful thing. It's fascinating."
Barclay MacKinnon, 23, a culinary student, is already a fan of Dream Water, which promises to send drinkers to dreamland in 30 minutes.
