Hey Erick, thank you for sharing your experience with us, we're sorry to hear it's not giving you the results you were hoping for yet.
A couple of things to try are:
1. Taking consistently, every night for 30 days. Since Sleep is made with natural, herbal ingredients, it works in a gentle, cumulative way. Some other sleep products we know of, do give you that instant knock-out effect, but this is often down to synthetic ingredients that will make you feel groggy the next day. Sleep gently builds, so the more consistent you are, the better the result.
2. If you've already been doing the above, you can safely increase the dosage to up to 4 capsules per night. It may be that you need a higher dose than others.
Let us know how you get on—we’re here to help and this is all useful feedback to hear from our community.
Hey Vanessa, this is really interesting - and great to hear!
Everybody's sleep habits are so different aren't they—I'm sure you've had these conversations with friends! Some struggle to get to sleep, some struggle to stay asleep, some have chattering brains that make all of the above a challenge.
It's great to hear it's helping you drift off back to sleep when you wake. That could be the muscle relaxing magnesium or the lemon balm extract that helps reduce anxiety and stress. Whatever it is, we're really glad it's working for you. Thanks so much for taking time out to write us this review.
Ah Jack, we're sorry to hear it's not working for you.
Sleep is a natural, herbal formula, so it tends to work gently and gradually, with benefits accumulating over time. Regarding the dosage, you can increase it to a maximum of 4 capsules per day if needed. It's disappointing to hear you weren't able to get back to sleep. We've heard from others that even though they may still wake, the magnesium has helped calm muscles and slow down their racing brain, which has made it easier to drift back off.
Thanks for giving us a try Jack. We really appreciate that and we're sorry you didn't feel any benefits but appreciate your honest review. If there's anything else we can help with, please do get in touch.
“I bought this supplement for my husband. He doesn’t have any problems falling asleep, but he struggles to stay asleep past 4am. And when he wakes, his brain switches on immediately, his heart rate rises and his feet get very restless and twitchy. It’s like his body thinks it’s time to get up.
Taking one capsule daily does seem to help him sleep for a little longer. He says that when he does wake, even if there’s not a huge improvement in length of time asleep, he feels calmer and more relaxed. So it’s possible to rest and get back to sleep, rather than his body kicking straight back into action and him being wide awake.”
This is really good to hear. Sometimes staying asleep is the bigger problem, in those cases magnesium may help.
The magnesium in our Sleep formula works by activating the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, which is responsible for inducing calmness and relaxation. This could be the key to helping counter that wide-awake bodily feeling.
We've also updated our formula in line with new research. We've now included a research backed dose of lemon balm, as it has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress. Lots of people talk about that immediate 'on' switch in their brain or 'brain chattering'. Lemon balm boosts GABA which may help ‘calm’ that chatter.
If he needs to up his dose, taking up to 4 capsules per day is totally safe. Sleep is a natural, herbal formula, so it tends to work gently and gradually. It's non-habit forming, and there's no synthetic melatonin here, so he won't get that groggy feeling even on 4 capsules.
Thanks for taking time to write us this review, we hope his sleep continues to improve!
“A Game-Changer for Quality Sleep and Recovery!
I've been using Performance Lab Sleep for a few months now, and the results are astonishing! My Garmin watch tracks my sleep patterns, and I've noticed a significant increase in deep sleep and REM sleep stages. My Garmin stress levels and resting heart rate have also plummeted, indicating a more relaxed and rejuvenated body. All metrics that I personally feel.
But what's truly remarkable is the impact on my physical recovery. After each night's sleep, my muscles feel incredibly refreshed and rejuvenated. The aches and pains from intense workouts and daily activities have significantly decreased, allowing me to tackle the day with renewed energy and vitality.
Thanks to Performance Lab Sleep, I wake up feeling refreshed, focused, and ready to take on the day. The formula is scientifically-backed, and the capsules are easy to consume before bedtime. I'm impressed by the noticeable improvement in my sleep quality, physical recovery, and overall well-being.
I'm hooked on this product and will continue using it for as long as possible. If you're struggling with sleep or want to optimize your rest and recovery, give Performance Lab Sleep a try. It's a total game-changer!
Pros:
- Improved deep sleep and REM sleep stages
- Reduced stress levels and resting heart rate
- Enhanced muscle and joint recovery
- Refreshed and focused mornings
- Scientifically-backed formula
- Easy to consume
Cons: None!”
Michael this is an amazing review, thank you!
We are very proud of our sleep product. It's another one that as a team here at Performance Lab HQ - we all swear by. Finding a sleep supplement that offers the quality of sleep you need, without the morning grogginess is truly a game-changer.
Your experience with improved deep sleep and REM stages is exactly what we aim to provide. Quality sleep is crucial for learning and memory consolidation. In fact, if you haven’t slept, your ability to learn new things could drop by up to 40%.
It's fantastic to hear that your Garmin watch is showing such positive metrics. Reduced stress levels, a lower resting heart rate, and enhanced muscle recovery - this is music to our ears!
Thanks again Michael for your kind words and for recommending Performance Lab Sleep to others. It's great to have you with us.
“This has worked pretty well for me. I use it as part of a stack of supplements to help with insomnia. I'm currently using the old formula though with the sea buckthorn.”
Hey James, you’ll see we’ve had a formula update since your last bottle. We’ve always got eyes on the latest evidence, so we can upgrade and improve wherever possible. We’ve swapped out sea buckthorn in favour of lemon balm.
Lemon balm has been shown in research to reduce anxiety and stress. We’ve added a research backed dose of 200mg per serving to support this benefit. A lot of people talk about their brain ‘chattering’ when they’re trying to fall asleep, lemon balm boost GABA which can help ‘calm’ that chatter. That, along with the Montmorency tart cherry and magnesium, will hopefully help with that insomnia!
Thanks so much James for taking time to leave us a review. We hope you like the new formula!
Hi Michael, thanks for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. We’re glad you have. Can we ask how long you've been taking Sleep for? Because Sleep is a natural, herbal formula, it tends to work gently and gradually, with benefits accumulating over time.
If you haven't already, we suggest using the product consistently for at least 30 days. Some people don't take sleep aids every night as they're worried about the groggy mornings. That’s normally down to the high dose synthetic melatonin in those products.
Performance Lab Sleep isn't like that. It’s sedative free with low dose natural melatonin. So you can take it every evening without worrying about the next day.
If you're still not feeling it you can increase your dosage to a maximum of 4 capsules per day if needed.
If, after this period, you feel the product isn't meeting your expectations, please do reach out to us. We stand by our 30-day money-back guarantee on first purchases, and we'll be more than happy to assist you with a refund.
“Finding it hard to sleep with nerve pain following a vaccination that clearly went a bit wrong! Read the reviews and thought I would give this a try. It has really helped me and although I still wake in the night I do drift back off to sleep. I have re-ordered as don't want to be without this product and would definitely recommend 'Sleep' especially as the ingredients are all natural and you do not wake feeling groggy!”
James, this is really good to hear. You make so many interesting points in your review.
We're glad to hear you're drifting back off in the night. That's possibly down to the lemon balm. Many people with disrupted sleep say they wake in the night, and feel their brain immediately switch on. Like a tv playing all channels at once. It's that constant internal chatter that stops them from getting back to sleep.
Lemon balm boosts GABA. Which can help with feelings of anxiety (which is often the source of that 'internal chatter'). Meanwhile Montmorency tart cherry relieves and relaxes muscle and joint aches - making it easier to slip back into sleep. The dream team. Literally.
That zero grogginess is great isn't it! We're glad you're feeling that. You take a gamble with most synthetic supplements that you'll wake up and feel worse than having no sleep at all! Mostly down to the high melatonin dose in them. It's why we opted for low dose natural melatonin.
Thanks so much James for taking time to write a review. We appreciate having you with us.
