Busy schedules, long hours, and stressful work days are more often than not, the culprit of insomnia. Falling asleep can be an exhausting struggle, one that many of us do not overcome easily. We take sleeping pills and down concoctions just to get a couple hours of shut-eye, but sleeping pills can take their toll on our bodies. In response to this dilemma, a kick-starter company from Berkeley University created Sprayable Sleep.
According to the company's website, Sprayable Sleep is the world's first topical melatonin spray that helps you get to sleep without harsh and addictive chemicals.
Apparently, if you're wanting to hit the hey, simply spray the product on your skin. The company vows that the spray will induce a natural, healthy sleep, and that grogginess will not be an issue.
So how is this product different from a pill? According to developers, “Sprayable Sleep takes everything that's good about melatonin and delivers it to your system just the way nature intended.”
The spray is said to gradually absorb in your skin, mimicking the body's natural production of melatonin over the course of a full night. Whereas, sleeping pills enter the body and release a huge dose of melatonin in one shot.

Users are instructed to spray the product twice on the neck region about an hour before bedtime. Users can also adjust their dosage to suite their preference.
Outlined on their website, Sprayable Sleep is said to have only three ingredients: melatonin, tyrosine, which is a derivative of a natural amino acid, and distilled water.
A bottle of Sprayable Sleep costs $15 and averages approximately 30 uses.
Sprayable Sleep is a new product on the market and the company has started an IndieGoGo page to assist in development funds.
The developers who brought you Sprayable Sleep also developed Sprayable Energy—the spray that provides users a healthier and effective alternative to coffee and energy drinks.
