Nature’s Bounty® Sleep3 is formulated with triple-action time-release technology. These unique tablets include three layers that are designed to dissolve at different times throughout the night. In each layer, there are different types of ingredients that provide benefits that help you to achieve a good night’s rest and quality sleep.

Sleep3 combines 200 milligrams of L-theanine with a proprietary blend of nighttime herbs chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and valerian root extracts to help you relax and unwind prior to bedtime.* L-theanine is the same natural amino acid that can be found in a soothing cup of green tea. 1 L-theanine can modulate alpha wave activity and interacts with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter, to help support a calm and relaxed mood. 2-4

Sleep3 provides 5 milligrams of quick-release melatonin. Quick-release melatonin is dissolved more easily during digestion for fast absorption into the bloodstream. It can help shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, which can help support sleep quality and duration. 5-9

While quick-release melatonin can help with sleep, its levels peak in the bloodstream around 20-60 minutes before the body quickly breaks it down.10-11 Because of this rapid breakdown, a more prolonged release melatonin formulation may help maintain levels throughout the night. 12 Sleep3 provides 5 milligrams of time-release melatonin. This amount of melatonin is released more gradually over a sustained period of time. The time-release melatonin in Sleep3 is designed to help to mimic the body’s natural pattern of melatonin release throughout the night.

Nature’s Bounty Sleep3 is a maximum-strength product that offers 3-in-1 benefits that make it stand out among 100% drug-free sleep aids. Time-release melatonin provides melatonin in a manner that more closely mimics the pattern naturally released in your body.* This specialized formula is designed to help you to relax, fall asleep faster, and works with your natural sleep cycle to promote uninterrupted, long-lasting sleep*

Benefit 1: Relax and Unwind

Unable to relax prior to bedtime? The combination of L-theanine with a nighttime herbal blend including chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, and valerian root extracts helps you to relax and unwind.*

 

Benefit 2: Fall Asleep Faster

Trouble falling asleep at night? Have you ever found yourself staring at the ceiling in bed? Quick-release melatonin may help to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep at bedtime.*

 

Benefit 3: Long-Lasting Sleep

Waking up in the middle of the night, or too early in the morning? These experiences can result in fragmented or insufficient sleep. Time-release melatonin may help you maintain optimal levels of melatonin in the bloodstream over a sustained period to help you stay asleep.

More than one in three U.S. adults report getting less than the recommended amount of sleep per night. 13 The trouble for some is falling asleep, while for others it’s waking up several times throughout the night, or a combination of both. There are a number of factors that can lead to disrupted sleep or occasional sleeplessness. These include lifestyle habits, night shift work, artificial light, light-emitting devices used at or near bedtime, or jet lag.

Whatever the cause of occasional sleeplessness, the lack of sleep can affect how you feel, how you look, and how well you perform during the day.14 Taking a proactive approach to getting better quality sleep is just as important to your health as diet and exercise.

Far from switching off during sleep, your body remains active working just as hard as when you’re awake to restore your body’s energy levels, to repair muscles and cells, and renew a variety of body systems. 14-15 Sufficient quality sleep helps the brain process information, improves memory recall, and reduces mental fatigue.16

To obtain the full range of benefits of restorative sleep, the average adult should be getting around seven or more hours of quality sleep each night.15 There are a few general tips for achieving better sleep at night. These include being physically active during the day, going to bed at the same time consistently each night (including on the weekends), avoiding the use of light-emitting digital devices before bedtime, avoiding caffeine or large meals before bedtime, and sleeping in a bedroom that is quiet, dark and at a comfortable temperature.17

Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced in the body that’s involved in our natural sleep cycle.* As light fades at dusk and early evening, our melatonin levels begin to rise triggering sleepiness. During the early morning as the sun begins to rise, less and less melatonin is made and we start to wake up and be more alert. Peak melatonin levels are reached generally between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m.18-20

The normal release of melatonin is vital for the maintenance of circadian rhythm and your “sleep-wake cycle.” However, melatonin amounts can vary depending on the person.19 As we get older, the amount of melatonin that our bodies produce lessens.18 Its normal release in the brain can also be suppressed by traveling to different time zones, nightshift work, lifestyle habits, and artificial light or light-emitting electronics, such as television or mobile phones. This disruption can affect your ability to relax, ability to fall asleep, or stay asleep throughout the night.

Melatonin is a safe and effective supplement to promote sleep.5-9 Clinical studies have found that taking melatonin at bedtime can help shorten the time it takes to fall asleep, can help promote sleep quality, and help to increase the total amount of time that is spent asleep throughout the night.5-9 The natural hormone helps to support sleep quality by working with the body’s circadian rhythm and helps to - synchronize the “sleep wake” cycle.5-9, 21
