Mix one stick pack with 4–8 oz of water and drink it 30 minutes before you want to fall asleep. The ingredients work best when given that window to start activating before your head hits the pillow.

Som Sleep is designed to be used as needed — many users start nightly and taper to 3–4 nights per week once their sleep rhythm improves. Because it's non-habit-forming, you don't need to worry about building a tolerance.

No — that's one of its key differences. Unlike common OTC sleep aids that use diphenhydramine (a sedative), Som Sleep works with your body's natural biology. The 3mg melatonin dose is intentionally low and precise to support sleep onset without lingering grogginess the next day.

Most melatonin supplements use 5–10mg doses, which can overshoot your body's needs and cause next-morning grogginess. Som Sleep uses a precise 3mg dose alongside four complementary ingredients — L-theanine, GABA, magnesium citrate, and vitamin B6 — so each part of the sleep process is addressed, not just the onset.
