SleepyPatch uses the natural power of essential oils such as Lavender and Mandarin to calm the nervous system and quickly relax your body into a state of deep sleep.
Better yet, it's the kind of deep (REM) sleep that your brain needs to wake up feeling refreshed and build positive memories; and enjoy a calmer, less anxious, and more productive day thanks to increased concentration and focus.
You’ve probably had the experience of encountering a smell that instantly evokes a strong memory or feeling. Maybe a waft of perfume reminds you of your grandmother, or the scent of motor oil takes you back to hanging out with your dad in the garage while he worked on his car.
Our sense of smell is directly wired to the brain’s centers of memory and emotion. Cells inside the nose detect smells in our environment, and send information to the brain, via the olfactory nerve. (We also have a cluster of cells the top of the throat that detect scents from the food we consume, and pass that information along the same olfactory channel to the brain.) The information about smell does immediately to the limbic system of the brain, which includes regions like the amygdala that control emotional reactions and memory.
A study on sleep problems and using Natural oils like those in the SleepyPatches to improve sleep, revealed that the use of aromatherapy was highly effective in improving sleep problems such as insomnia, including quantitative and qualitative sleep effects (95% confidence interval [CI], effect sizes = 0.6491). Additional analysis revealed that the secondary outcomes including stress, depression, anxiety, and fatigue were significantly effective.
What is REM sleep and why it is important
The deepest sleep you can experience is REM sleep. Rapid eye movement (REM) generally begins about 90 minutes after you fall asleep. It's the most important stage as it restores your brain and helps you learn and consolidate memories.
What causes the lack of REM sleep
Sleep disorders like insomnia
High levels of stress/anxiety and nighttime terrors
Alcohol, Antidepressants, ADHD medications, and other sleep disrupting drugs.
Sleep deprivation has real impacts on health and well-being. The most obvious is sleepiness. Feeling sleepy can affect your work and family life. It can also make it dangerous to do things like drive a car.
How SleepyPatch improves sleep
SleepyPatch is designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, depression, anxiety, fatigue and deal with insomnia. This helps to fall asleep and prepare the body and brain for better recovery during the sleep.
It works by triggering the receptors in the nose which then sends messages through the nervous systems to the limbic system which controls behavior and emotions.
SleepyPatches are infused with essential oils and thanks to our unique material, the patches diffuse the aroma consistently throughout the night.
The nanomaterial releases molecules of oils every 30 seconds so you can count on our patches working all night long.
