Boiron SleepCalm | Melatonin-Free Sleep Relief

SleepCalm is a melatonin-free homeopathic medicine for occasional sleeplessness: trouble dropping off because your mind will not stop, restless sleep, and waking on and off through the night. The unflavoured meltaway tablets dissolve in the mouth at bedtime with no water. Each box holds 60 tablets, for adults and children from 12 years up.

How SleepCalm Works

Poor sleep is rarely just trouble falling asleep. It shows up as restless nights, frequent waking, sleep wrecked by jet lag or shift work, parasitic activity, or a mind still turning over the day. Behind it often sit tiredness, emotional strain, a high toxic load or a change in routine. SleepCalm answers that with four plant-based actives, each aimed at a different piece: the nervousness that keeps you up, the restlessness once you are down, the worry-and-exhaustion combination, the waking at intervals. Most sleep aids get there by acting on the nervous system, which is where morning grogginess and dependence come from. Melatonin is the other common route, and it is a hormone — Boiron’s case for leaving it out is that SleepCalm restores a healthy sleep pattern without one, and without the headaches, dizziness or nausea that melatonin can bring. It is non-habit forming and has no known drug interactions.

Key Ingredients

Four plant-based actives, each matched on the label to a different sleep problem:

• Henbane — for restless sleep that goes with nervousness.
• Nutmeg — for restless sleep.
• Passionflower — for sleeplessness that comes with worries and exhaustion.
• Thorn apple — for sleeplessness with intermittent waking.
• Croscarmellose sodium, lactose and magnesium stearate — the tablet base. Gluten-free, with no artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives.

Who It’s For

For the person who lies awake with a busy head, the shift worker, the traveller crossing time zones, and anyone who has tried melatonin and would rather not take a hormone to sleep.

Suggested Use

Adults and children 12 years and over: dissolve 2 tablets in the mouth at bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. For children under 12, ask your practitioner first. If sleeplessness carries on for more than two weeks, or gets worse, have it looked at — persistent insomnia can be a symptom of something underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why melatonin-free? Melatonin is a hormone. SleepCalm works on the sleep pattern itself, so there is no hormone to take and none of the headaches, dizziness or nausea melatonin can cause.

Will I be groggy in the morning or come to rely on it? It is non-habit forming, and it does not work by dampening the nervous system the way sedating sleep aids do.

Why do I wake at the same time every night? That pattern is worth reading. In Chinese medicine each waking hour points to a particular organ or gland — our Chinese body clock chart shows which.

Could parasites be keeping me awake? They can — they are most active at night, and especially around the full moon and new moon. If your bad nights follow a monthly rhythm, that is the first place we look.
