Slumbr Dawn Hold — Jet-Lag & Sleep-Timing Formulation

For sleep that ends hours too early.

The early-waking pattern — sleep that begins well enough but finishes at 3 or 4 am with no way back. Dawn Hold supports the back half of the night with two physiological signals.

Melatonin IR · 1 mg sublingual. Low-dose, fast-absorbed. Provides gentle melatonergic support across the second half of the night — the window early-waking patients are losing sleep in.

Glycine · 3 g powder in water. A small core-temperature drop is part of how the body sustains consolidated late-night sleep. Glycine reinforces that signal.

When to take it

Taken at bedtime — the same physical timing as Onset Reset, but for a different clinical purpose: here the low-dose melatonin extends melatonergic support across the back half of the night, where early-waking patients are losing sleep.

Before you start — please read

Waking too early can be a marker of something beyond sleep itself, depression in particular. If you have been feeling low, hopeless, exhausted in a way that does not lift, or noticing loss of interest or appetite, please book a consultation before starting any sleep product. A Slumbr physician can run a brief mood assessment, and if depression is in the picture the treatment pathway is different — and far more effective than melatonin alone.

Safety note

IMPORTANT: early-morning waking can be a sign of depression. Please book a consultation so a doctor can rule this out. CONTAINS MELATONIN — marketed for jet-lag/sleep-timing support only (SA SAHPRA S0 carve-out). NOT a treatment for insomnia. Responsible pharmacist to confirm final wording before launch.
Adults experiencing jet-lag or shifted sleep timing who wake too early (3–5 am) and cannot get back to sleep.
Melatonin IR — 1 mg (sublingual)
Glycine — 3 g powder in water
30–45 minutes before bed:

• 1 mg melatonin sublingual under the tongue.

Mandatory note: terminal early-waking is a classic somatic marker of depression. If you have features of low mood, hopelessness, loss of interest, or persistent fatigue, please do not start this product — book a Slumbr consultation.
