Insomnia, particularly when caused by stress or anxiety, poses a significant challenge for many individuals. Traditional treatments, including sleeping pills, can be effective but often come with potential side effects and long-term dependency concerns. Addressing this issue, an innovative sleep patch has been developed to offer a non-invasive, drug-free solution for improving sleep hygiene.
This sleep patch is designed to tackle common sleep problems such as insomnia and irregular sleep patterns, particularly those triggered by stress and anxiety. Unlike conventional medications, the patch leverages natural products to promote relaxation and support continuous sleep without the adverse effects associated with long-term drug use. Clinical research, including stress experiments and polysomnography studies, has demonstrated the patch’s ability to induce sleep for over 12 hours by alleviating stress. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals seeking a safe, effective alternative to conventional sleep aids.
The technology owner is looking for collaboration with local research institutions and universities to validate the effectiveness and safety of the product through comprehensive research and clinical trials.
1) Sleep and Stress Relief Mechanism
- Functionality: This sleep aid is based on stress relief mechanism. In a stress relief test, the autonomic nerve stress index decreased by 40% after using the sleep patch. Similarly, the brain stress index experienced a 25% reduction.
2) Non-invasive Transdermal Delivery System

3) Natural Substances and Safety
- Safety: Formulated with natural substances verified for safety by to the Korean Food Pharmacopoeia standards.
4) Proven Effectiveness
- Scientific Validation: The product's efficacy is backed by in vitro studies and animal experiments, demonstrating significant improvements in sleep parameters.
- Preliminary Clinical Study: A preliminary clinical trial using polysomnography showed a 57% reduction in sleep onset time and a 20% increase in total sleep duration, contributing to better overall sleep hygiene.
