Respro Labs Natural Melatonin Patch, 3 mg (per Patch) Continuous Release - 24 Patches

Omgosh am I grateful for this product. My sleep has been less than great for the last couple years, but it was good enough. But then because of stress, a little too much caffeine, etc. my sleep quality worsened dramatically and my circadian rhythm was disrupted. I did all the right things like room darkening, cool temps in bedroom, blue blocker glasses in the evening, reduced caffeine to only one cup of green tea in the morning. But I was still waking up every two hours and couldn't get back to sleep after 3:30 am. Regular melatonin (1-5 mg) would knock me out for the first couple hours but not keep me asleep. The big hit of a single dose didn't work for me. Herbal supplements helped some, but not enough. Finally I found out about these patches from Ben Greenfield's podcast. The first night I used two 3 mg patches on my upper arm. I was a little groggy the next morning but slept a full much better, even had a four hour stretch. The second night, I had an almost 6 hour stretch and got a total of 7.5 hours. I feel like a new person today!! Melatonin has lots of benefits besides just helping you sleep....the most obvious one being that sleep is critical for life and health. But it also encourages a healthy gut, has cellular renewal/anti-aging benefits, etc. Check out The Kauffmann Protocol website or book (available on Amazon) and you can read all about Melatonin. Hope this helps you get a great night's sleep!

I guess I had a sleep debt. The patch adhesive is good and probably would have stayed on for days. Perhaps this dose is too much for me so I may cut a patch in half.

My son’s doctor prescribed slow release melatonin, but he cannot swallow the extended release tablets, so we are trying these. They do seem to help him to sleep more soundly through the first half of the night. However, we ordered 24 patches and only received 12. Thankfully, Amazon rep was very nice and helped to process a refund, but I am worried that this will happen again for the next order.

I’ve been using melatonin in pill format for years, and it works well but doesn’t last throughout the night, which is why I bought these patches. Been using it daily for about a week now and can confidently say it has no effect at all on me. I tried single and double patches on different days - makes no difference.

I do not use these every night, but when I do, my sleep app always detects better sleep. Low dose so that you don’t have to worry about too much. Not recommended for teens, but occasionally I will give one to my 17 year old if she really has trouble falling asleep (ie: finals week). I keep them in my side table drawer for easy access when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

I have trouble sleeping through the night. I can fall asleep anywhere, but if I wake up at 2 am, I'm up for the rest of the night. It's infuriating tbh. Decided to try some melatonin patches when tablets weren't making me stay asleep. These are great! I've used all but 3 of the patches in my first box (one each night) and the longest I've been up in the middle of the night is maybe an hour. For the most part, I stay asleep all night. It feels so good to fall asleep knowing I will actually sleep. They do give me some crazy dreams though lol so be aware of that.

These work pretty well, except they like to peel themselves off and get stuck in other places... I went to sleep with one on my right arm, and woke up to it relocated to my inner left thigh at 3am. Hilarious!

Love this melatonin patch, like the fact that its just got one ingredient melatonin, its the only patch currently on market that has one simple ingredient I dont like other herbs added on because if you have reaction then you dont know if its the melatonin or the other stuff. Love the size of the patch and got it in a very low dose 3mg worked excellent for sleep and the bonus cleared up the psoriasis, I was under the impression that melatonin is not recommended for immune compromised people they could be wrong with the research, anyway love this product, very reasonable price too USA product cant beat that
