It's important to put this on about an hour or so before going to bed, but once you've done that the sleep is terrific. I don't recommend applying them too late though - if you've gone to bed without applying it and then decide at 2 am maybe you should use it for example. I tried that and definitley had a hard time getting going in the morning - there was definitley a hangover affect. Otherwise though it's a terrific product and I've recommended it to frineds who have issues sleeping.
Sleep has been so elusive for many many years. I hate the way prescription drugs make me feel the next day. These patches are a game changer. I sleep well with them every single time and take them when I travel. For me, it’s 100% worth the 2 minutes of scrubbing you have to do to get it off. I’m awake and energetic enough to do it!
I loved the way the patch made me feel and sleep through the night. I did not like the residue it left and how difficult it was to remove.
I really love my vitamin patches and wear them daily, however I have found that the sleep patch does leave very sticky remnants on the skin that are very difficult to remove from both the skin and other objects (towels, bathtub etc). I found other vitamin patches sometimes leave a little bit of remnant but the sleep patch is larger and leaves more on the skin. Other than that I love my vitamin patches and have been using them for 3 years.
This patch has helped me stay asleep longer most nights. I was averaging 4 hrs of sleep before waking up and battling to fall back to sleep. Since using these patches I have averaged 6 hrs of sleep.
The one drawback is the residue left behind after removing the patch each morning is difficult to remove and requires a bit of scrubbing.
