Quick2Sleep – Does it really work?

We just got wind of an interesting product aimed at those who have trouble falling asleep, it’s called Quick2Sleep. Each dose looks like a breath mint strip (the kind that dissolve on your tongue), and they claim that you will fall asleep within 15 minutes of taking one. Quick2Sleep sounds too good to be true, but we haven’t tried it yet, so we won’t pass judgment. According to the Quick2Sleep website,

Quick 2 Sleep™ is 100% natural, nonprescription and non-habit forming.  You get your full 8 hours of sleep to awake rested and enjoy your day!  Nature’s Quick 2 Sleep™ is the most effective, convenient, and fastest acting insomnia remedy available.

Nature’s Quick 2 Sleep™ is an edible strip. That means no more swallowing tablets or pills! It contains all natural ingredients, which are absorbed instantly in your mouth.  Nature’s Quick 2 Sleep™ helps you to get to sleep in 15 minutes or less to ensure that you get a full nights’ sleep.

Interesting Article with some Great Tips on how to Fall Asleep Faster

The BBC has a great article online, “Are you getting enough?”

The article discusses the pervasiveness of sleep disorders in the U.K. (and modern society in general) as well as some interesting suggestions to help you fall asleep faster. Here are a few:

Systematically tense each muscle group in turn until it starts to hurt – about 20 seconds – and then let go. This creates a warm feeling of relaxation, and any tension should flow away. The theory is that with physical relaxation comes mental calmness. PMR is used as a stress buster, as well as helping sleep.

Just repeating “the” could be the solution. It’s known as a blocking strategy, another cognitive technique. The aim is to stop the mind racing. Repeating a simple word like “the” at irregular interval blocks other thoughts coming into your head.
