Sleep Remedy FAQ's

Our sleep product is simply very small amounts of the nutrients involved in the production of melatonin: L-tryptophan, 5HTP, Vitamin D3, Magnesium, and a very small dose of melatonin. Since an increase in brain GABA levels is also a normal player in the initiation of sleep, we have also included a small amount of a GABA derivative that can cross into the brain–called “phGABA”. The quantities of each ingredient are intended to replenish normal levels of these nutrients, to allow for the normal production of melatonin, and to help initiate the initial cascade of events that lead to deep, natural sleep.

If you routinely do not get enough sleep, I recommend taking this product every night. If you are trying to catch-up on sleep, after being sleep deprived,

I recommend taking the supplement every night, until you have caught up. The product can also be used for jet-lag. In that case it would be taken for a duration related to how many time zones you are crossing.

Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy is designed to restore commonly deficient nutrients associated with sleep. In Dr. Parsley’s experience, once these nutrients have been restored to optimal levels, most people have vastly improved sleep. Your body is still doing all the work. We are just giving your body the materials it needs to create great sleep.

The components of the Sleep Remedy are all normally found in your body—and designed to create “normal” or optimal levels of these nutrients. This is not a trick, or a drug. Since your body and brain are creating sleep in a natural way, groggy or hung-over feelings are highly unlikely.

If you have taken sleep drugs, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety medications for a for a long period of time, you may feel somewhat resistant to the Sleep Remedy. Since the dosages of all ingredients within the Sleep Cocktail are very low, taking 1.5-2.0 packets is unlikely to have negative consequences to those that feel the need for this.

However, always start with the recommended dosage. If you feel like you need to increase the dose, do it very slowly. Remember that too much Magnesium can cause diarrhea, and our product does have magnesium in it.

Because we are not aiming to trick your body’s normal physiology, the common side effects associated with sleep aids are unlikely. The side effects of many sleep aids are caused because the medication is mimicking or blocking a normal process in the body or brain. Our formulation is not designed to mimic or trick—just provide your body with the resources to do its natural processes.

No. There is no need to give up your morning coffee if you don’t want to. However, you may find that you don’t really need it anymore—once you’ve caught up on sleep. Drinking coffee, or other caffeinated products within eight hours of bedtime is never recommended.

The design of the product is to be a night-time treat, and part of a sleep ritual.Warm cups of nice tasting drinks are great for this. However, the product can be dissolved in any temperature water and will work in amounts less than 8 oz. The temperature of the water will not affect how the product works. However, it will dissolve more easily in warmer water.

Many sleep aids actually render the user “unconscious.” It is difficult, and possibly impossible to wake from this state. However, our Sleep Remedy is simply designed to help your body create normal, restful sleep. During normal sleep, most people are able to wake when their environment changes (crying baby, alarms, and things that go bump in the night).

Our sleep product is simply very small amounts of the nutrients involved in the production of melatonin:

L-tryptophan

5HTP

Vitamin D3

Magnesium

Melatonin

Phosphatidylserine

L-theanine

GABA

The quantities of each ingredient are intended to replenish normal levels of these nutrients, to allow for the normal production of melatonin, and to help initiate the initial cascade of events that lead to deep, natural sleep.
