The Stay Asleep Stack is built for people who fall asleep without much trouble but find the night doesn't hold. Its three products each work on a different part of the night.

5-HTP is the evening starting point. It's a precursor to serotonin, the pathway the body uses on the way to making melatonin, and a 12-week randomised trial in older adults found benefits in some sleep measures, especially among poor sleepers. It's taken before dinner so the routine is in place well ahead of bedtime.

Saffron Extract supports relaxation and sleep quality. Randomised, placebo-controlled trials of standardised saffron extract in adults with poor sleep found improvements in self-reported sleep quality.

Magnesium Glycinate is the settling layer. A 2025 randomised, placebo-controlled trial of magnesium bisglycinate in adults reporting poor sleep found a modest improvement in insomnia severity after four weeks, with the biggest gains in people who started with lower dietary magnesium. Saffron and Magnesium are taken together before bed, so there's no extra timing to remember.

Give the full routine a few months, as the benefits build over weeks not days. For nights that also start with trouble falling asleep, the Fall Asleep + Stay Asleep Combo adds Sleep Formula and Ashwagandha.
