Sleep is an essential pillar of well-being. Yet, many people experience difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested.
In contrast to conventional dietary supplements, an alternative is attracting increasing interest: the sleep patch .
But who exactly is the sleep patch for? Is it suitable for everyone? Let's take a closer look.
What is a sleep patch?
A sleep patch is a transdermal device that is applied directly to the skin, usually before bedtime.
It allows for a gradual release of active ingredients (vitamins, plant extracts, ingredients of natural origin), without ingestion.
👉 Sleep patches are not medicines and do not replace medical treatment. They are part of a wellness routine .
For whom is the sleep patch particularly suitable?
1. People who have difficulty falling asleep
Some people have difficulty falling asleep , particularly due to:
-
stress
-
of an overactive mind
-
difficulties in “switching off” in the evening
The sleep patch is often appreciated for its continuous release , without abrupt action, which gradually accompanies the time of bedtime.
2. People with digestive sensitivities
Dietary supplements taken orally must pass through the digestive system, which can lead to:
-
discomfort
-
bloating
-
difficulties in assimilation among certain profiles
👉 The ONSKYN sleep patch, applied to the skin, does not pass through digestion , making it an interesting alternative for people sensitive or intolerant to capsules.
3. People who don't like swallowing supplements
Capsules, tablets, powders…
For some, taking it orally every day can become burdensome.
The sleep patch is appealing because of its ease of use :
-
we apply the patch
-
we let it do its thing
-
tasteless, waterless, and without time constraints
4. People looking for a simple sleep routine
The patch can easily be integrated into an evening routine :
-
application before bedtime
-
no multi-socket
-
don't forget
It is particularly suitable for people looking for a practical, discreet and regular solution.
5. People prone to nighttime awakenings
Some people fall asleep easily but wake up:
-
in the middle of the night
-
too early in the morning
-
with a feeling of unrefreshing sleep
The gradual release of the sleep patch over several hours may be perceived as more stable than a one-off dose, integrated into a comprehensive approach to sleep.
Is the sleep patch suitable for everyone?
The sleep patch may be suitable for many profiles, but it is not universal .
It is important to remember that:
-
Sleep needs vary from person to person
-
Sleep also depends on lifestyle (stress, screens, diet, rhythm)
👉 The sleep patch works best when integrated into a comprehensive sleep hygiene routine .
Sleep patches and dietary supplements: which should you choose?
It is not necessarily a question of opposing the two formats.
Some people:
-
prefer dietary supplements
-
Others prefer patches.
-
some alternate according to their needs
The sleep patch primarily represents an alternative for those looking for:
-
more comfort
-
fewer constraints
-
a different approach to oral intake
