Sleep Faster, Wake Clearer: The Science & Routine Behind SLEEP+

What SLEEP+ is built to do

• Shorten sleep onset (~30–45 min typical onset).
• Stabilize deep sleep for ~8–10 h via a gentle, steady curve.
• Support a clear morning wake-up with minimal grogginess.

Transdermal micro-diffusion delivers a gradual rise → plateau → taper, avoiding the spike-and-crash you can get with some pills or liquids.

What’s inside—and why it works

EU-friendly: no 5-HTP, no tryptophan.
Note: Sweat-resistant for workouts; not waterproof—avoid showering/swimming while wearing.

Timing, placement, and wear time (the 90% of success)

When: apply 30–60 minutes before bed.
Where (rotate daily):

• Upper shoulder/deltoid
• Shoulder blade / upper back
• Hip / side of torso
• Outer upper arm

How: clean, dry skin → peel → stick → press 10–15 s.
Wear time: ~8–10 h. If you wake groggy, reduce by 30–60 min the next night.

Your first 7 nights with SLEEP+

Nights 1–2 — Find your onset window

• Apply 45–60 min before lights out.
• Keep bedtime habits constant (dim lights, no heavy meals <2 h).
• Log: “time to feel drowsy,” “time lights off,” “wake quality.”

Nights 3–4 — Lock the curve

• Move to 30–45 min if drowsy came too early; stay at 45–60 if it was perfect.
• Aim for 8–9 h wear time; adjust by ±30 min based on morning feel.

Nights 5–7 — Optimize depth & wake-up

• If you still wake at ~3 a.m., place the patch on a thicker site (upper back/hip) or shift application 10–15 min later.
• If mornings feel heavy, reduce total wear (e.g., 7.5–8 h) and brighten your room on wake.

Tip: Morning daylight (2–10 min) plus 150–500 ml water after removing the patch speeds the “clear wake-up” signal.

Common scenarios & fixes

• “I wake around 3 a.m.”
• Keep bedtime consistent (±30 min).
• Try upper back/hip placement; it often yields a smoother overnight curve.
• Move application 10–15 min later so the plateau extends deeper into the night.
• Reduce alcohol; it fragments deep sleep.
• “I fall asleep, but wake groggy.”
• Shorten wear time by 30–60 min (e.g., 9 h → 8–8.5 h).
• Add bright light on wake and movement in the first 10–20 min.
• Avoid snooze cycles; one decisive wake protects alertness.
• “Busy mind won’t shut off.”
• Keep SLEEP+ at 45–60 min pre-bed.
• Add a 3-minute brain dump (paper), then a 1–2 min exhale-focused breathing (e.g., 4-sec inhale / 6-sec exhale).
• Consider earlier caffeine cutoff (≥8 h before bed).

Exact routine (copy–paste)

• T-60 to T-45: dim lights; last screen check.
• T-45 to T-30: apply SLEEP+; quick shower before applying; light snack only if needed.
• T-30 to T-10: winding down (reading, stretching, low conversation).
• T-10: in bed; lights very low.
• T-0: lights out; room cool (17–19 °C), dark, quiet.
• Morning: remove patch; daylight, water, brief movement.

Transdermal vs. oral: why a patch at night?

• Bypasses digestion → fewer GI variables and late-night reflux risk.
• Sustained micro-diffusion → smoother 8–10 h support through the full sleep architecture.
• Predictable timing → you control onset window by when you apply, not when a capsule dissolves.

Safety & good practice

• Educational information only—not medical advice. If pregnant, nursing, on medication, or with a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional. Discontinue if skin irritation persists; rotate placement; do not layer multiple patches on the same site. Not waterproof.

Quick FAQ

• How long until I feel drowsy?
  Typical onset 30–45 min after application.
• Can I work out in the evening with the patch on?
  Yes, it’s sweat-resistant. Shower before, not after; avoid swimming.
• What if my schedule shifts (travel, jet lag)?
  Apply SLEEP+ at the new local bedtime for 3–4 nights to help anchor the rhythm. Use FOCUS+ soon after local wake to reinforce daytime alertness.
• Is SLEEP+ habit-forming?
  No; it’s a non-sedative blend designed for transdermal micro-diffusion and steady support.
• Do I need to cycle off?
  Not required for most users. Keep rotating skin sites and tune wear time.
