Inside SLEEPTIME: Three Actives, One Night's Work

Most sleep products are built around one ingredient and a promise. SLEEPTIME is built around three, because poor sleep is rarely one problem.

Here is the entire formula, and what each active is there to do.

Sleep is not one problem

Think about the nights that go wrong. Sometimes the body is restless — legs that will not settle, shoulders still holding the day. Sometimes the body is ready and the mind will not stop — replaying conversations, planning tomorrow. And sometimes both are willing, but the internal clock has drifted so far that 11pm simply does not feel like night.

Three different problems. A formula built on one ingredient can only answer one of them.

Magnesium Bisglycinate — 500 mg

Supports muscle relaxation and nervous system calm.

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body and contributes to normal muscle function and normal functioning of the nervous system. It is the physical half of winding down.

The form is the part worth paying attention to. Bisglycinate means the magnesium is chelated — bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. That bond makes it highly bioavailable and gentle on the digestive system, which is exactly what a nightly capsule needs to be.

And the glycine is not merely a carrier. It is an amino acid with its own long association with rest — so the partner chosen for absorption happens to belong in a sleep formula on its own terms. More on that in the form behind SLEEPTIME.

L-Theanine — 200 mg

Supports relaxation and mental calm.

L-Theanine is a free-form amino acid found naturally in green tea leaves. It is the reason a cup of green tea feels settled and clear rather than jittery, even though it contains caffeine.

Its contribution is to the mind, not the body — supporting a calm, unhurried state rather than heavy drowsiness. This is the active that addresses the second kind of bad night, where the body is ready and the thoughts will not slow down.

Melatonin — 10 mg

Supports sleep onset and sleep rhythm.

Melatonin is a hormone your body already produces — released as light fades to signal that night has arrived and the sleep period should begin. It is the body's own timekeeping message.

Modern life interferes with that signal constantly. Screens at close range, bright indoor light in the evening, late work and irregular schedules all push the internal clock out of alignment with the actual hour. Melatonin supports the natural rhythm of sleep onset — helping the body arrive at night when night arrives.

How the three work through your evening

  1. Pre-sleep ritual. Two capsules, 30 to 60 minutes before bed, with water.
  2. Calming begins. L-Theanine and Magnesium begin supporting nervous system calm and muscle relaxation.
  3. Sleep support. Melatonin supports the natural sleep onset signal, guiding the body toward rest.
  4. Over time. Consistent nightly use supports better sleep rhythms and restful recovery.

Note the sequence. The formula is designed around a wind-down that begins before you lie down — which is why the timing instruction is 30 to 60 minutes before bed rather than as you get into it.

This is not a sleeping pill

We say this on the pack and we mean it as a description rather than a disclaimer.

A sedative overrides. SLEEPTIME supports — muscle relaxation, mental calm, and the body's own rhythm of sleep onset. It is a nightly ritual for people who treat recovery as part of performance rather than an afterthought.

Sixty capsules. Thirty nights. Three actives, each declared with its amount on the pack — no proprietary blend, nothing hidden.

Using it properly

  • Two capsules, 30–60 minutes before bedtime. Before bedtime only — not during the day.
  • Do not drive or operate machinery after taking it.
  • Be consistent. Sleep rhythms respond to regularity more than to any single night.
  • Store below 25°C, away from sunlight and moisture, out of reach of children.
