Sleep Onset

Sleep Onset refers to the ability to fall asleep faster. This improves sleep quality and reduces daytime sleepiness.

The Sleep Onset benefit refers to the capacity of a substance, activity, or treatment to decrease the time required to fall asleep. This is achieved by shortening sleep latency, the duration between lying down with the intention to sleep and the actual beginning of sleep. Successfully shortening sleep onset leads to a quicker transition into sleep, resulting in improved sleep quality, reduced daytime sleepiness, and enhanced cognitive function. This is often accomplished by calming the mind, promoting muscle relaxation, and reducing overall physiological arousal.
