Melatonin + Sleep Patches
This sleep aid patch contains a combination of natural ingredients known to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Here's an easy-to-understand explanation of how it works, along with some additional scientific information:

Expected Benefits
- Easier time falling asleep
- Feeling more relaxed
- Ability to fall back asleep if you wake up during the night
- Increased dream activity
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
**Melatonin**: A hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland, melatonin helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. It's released in response to darkness and helps initiate and maintain sleep.
**GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)**: This neurotransmitter has a calming effect on the central nervous system. Research suggests it may help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction.
**5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan)**: A precursor to serotonin, 5-HTP may positively affect sleep, mood, anxiety, appetite, and pain sensation. When combined with GABA, it might help reduce sleep latency and improve sleep quality.
**Valerian**: This plant's root is believed to have sedative and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects. It may enhance GABA's calming properties.
**Lavender Oil**: This essential oil has been extensively studied for its sleep-promoting effects. It's associated with improved sleep quality and has been shown to have calming effects on heart rate, blood pressure, and mood.
Usage Instructions
1. Open the packet and remove one patch.
2. Apply to clean, dry, hair-free skin on your upper body 1-2 hours before bedtime.
3. Remove upon waking.
4. You can use the patches on subsequent nights as needed.
5. Start with one patch and increase to two if needed.
The patch's placement on the upper body allows you to inhale the relaxing lavender aroma throughout the night, enhancing its calming effects.
