Slumbr Stillness™ — The Hyperarousal Wind-Down Protocol
For the nights your body is exhausted but your mind won't switch off. Slumbr Stillness™ is a two-phase, physician-formulated sleep-support protocol designed for the hyperarousal pattern — the "tired-but-wired" state where racing thoughts and a buzzing nervous system keep you from settling, even when you're worn out.
Currently out of stock. Stillness is being prepared for its first production run. Add your email below to be the first to know when it's available, or take the free Slumbr Sleep Pattern Assessment™ to see whether the hyperarousal pattern fits you.
A protocol, not a pill
Most sleep supplements give you one capsule and hope. Stillness is built as a nightly ritual in two phases, mirroring how a calm night actually unfolds:
- Phase I · Dusk — an evening capsule, taken about an hour before bed, to help quiet a busy mind as the day winds down.
- Phase II · Stillwater — a lights-out sachet that dissolves into a warm glass of water, to support a deep, settled night.
Each phase is timed to a different part of the wind-down, so the protocol works with your evening rather than asking a single dose to do everything at once.
The evidence behind the formulation
Stillness is formulated by Slumbr's specialist physicians around four well-studied, non-prescription ingredients, each chosen for a distinct, evidence-supported role in calming a hyperaroused nervous system and supporting sleep:
- Standardised saffron extract — studied in randomised, placebo-controlled trials for supporting sleep quality and a calmer mood as part of an evening routine.
- L-theanine — an amino acid from tea, researched for promoting a relaxed-but-alert calm and easing the mental "racing" of hyperarousal, without sedation.
- Glycine — an amino acid shown in controlled studies to support sleep quality and next-day freshness when taken before bed.
- Magnesium (as bisglycinate) — a gentle, well-absorbed form supporting the body's natural relaxation and normal nervous-system function.
We publish the full ingredient list for transparency, but the doses, ratios and phase timing are Slumbr's own clinical formulation — the part that turns four good ingredients into one considered protocol.
Why physician-led matters here
Stillness is formulated and reviewed by HPCSA-registered specialist physicians at Slumbr Sleep Clinic — the same clinicians behind our online insomnia care. It is built on a simple principle from sleep medicine: good sleep is first built behaviourally. Stillness is designed to support healthy sleep alongside good sleep habits (and, where helpful, structured approaches like CBT-I) — not to replace medical care.
Who it's for
- Adults (18+) with the "tired-but-wired" hyperarousal pattern.
- People who want a considered, clinical alternative to influencer supplements and generic "sleep gummies".
- Anyone who'd rather build a calm-down ritual than chase a knock-out pill.
Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or under 18. If you take other medication or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first. Slumbr Stillness supports healthy sleep; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent insomnia or any other condition.
