Slumbr Onset Reset — Jet-Lag & Sleep Timing Formulation

For the night you cannot fall asleep.

A single combined dose, 30–45 minutes before bed, calibrated to the physiology of sleep onset — for the pattern where the start of the night is the difficulty and the rest of your sleep is largely intact once you finally get there.

Melatonin IR · 1 mg sublingual. Low-dose physiological melatonin, taken under the tongue for fast absorption, supports the body's own sleep-onset signal. One milligram is the right dose. High-dose preparations (3–10 mg) saturate receptors and can blunt your natural timing rather than support it — we formulate at the dose where the science is.

Glycine · 3 g powder in water. A gentle core-temperature drop that the body normally produces on its own at sleep onset. Glycine reinforces that signal so the transition from awake to asleep feels less effortful.

Who this is for

Adults 18 and over needing support with sleep onset or jet-lag. Pharmacist-gated at point of sale.

Beyond the formulation

For persistent difficulty falling asleep, a Slumbr consultation discusses the wider treatment landscape. Where it fits your situation, the consultation can discuss or signpost CBT-I — the leading evidence-based approach for chronic insomnia.

Safety

Not for use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or under 18. Avoid in autoimmune disease. Tell your pharmacist if you take fluvoxamine, oestrogens, or high-dose caffeine supplements — these can raise melatonin levels.

Safety note

Supports natural sleep onset and healthy sleep timing. CONTAINS MELATONIN — marketed for jet-lag/sleep-timing support only (SA SAHPRA S0 carve-out at ≤6 mg/day). NOT a treatment for insomnia. Responsible pharmacist to confirm final wording before launch.

Adults experiencing jet-lag or shifted sleep timing who struggle to fall asleep at their target bedtime.

Melatonin IR — 1 mg (sublingual)
Glycine — 3 g powder in water

Note: v3 (2026-05-26) protocol — single combined dose. L-theanine is reserved for Hyperarousal and is not part of Sleep-Onset support.

Single combined dose, 30–45 minutes before bed:

• 1 mg melatonin sublingual under the tongue.
• 3 g glycine powder dissolved in water.

1 mg is the correct dose for sleep-onset — more is NOT better. High-dose melatonin (3–10 mg) worsens timing and saturates receptors. This is sedative timing (close to bedtime), distinct from the chronobiotic timing used in circadian disorders.
