At Eight Sleep, our mission has always been clear: to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. Until now, we’ve focused on optimizing external factors influencing sleep, such as temperature regulation and sleeping positions. But to truly push the boundaries of what’s possible, we needed to look inward. Achieving a new level of sleep fitness meant addressing the internal environment with the same precision and innovation we’ve applied externally.
After analyzing over 600 million hours of sleep data and diving deep into the science of human sleep, we’re ready to take the next step: tackling sleep from the inside out.
Introducing Sleep Elixir
Today, we are thrilled to announce Sleep Elixir — a revolutionary formula that evolves iteratively, like software, based on real-world data and ongoing research. Unlike traditional static supplements, Sleep Elixir is designed to adapt and improve continuously, fueled by insights from our Pod’s sleep tracking data and our field research.
This isn’t just another supplement. It represents the first step in a new era of sleep solutions — solutions that evolve alongside you. Developed with rigorous science and cutting-edge innovation, Sleep Elixir is crafted for those who demand more from their sleep and from their lives.
The ingredients: Science-driven and purposefully selected
Starting with 12 promising ingredients, we tested and refined our formula to focus on four natural compounds that delivered the best outcomes in both Eight Sleep-conducted studies and peer-reviewed research.
Each ingredient was chosen for its proven ability to:
- Promote calmness before bed
- Support ease of falling asleep
- Enhance feelings of energy upon waking
The result: a proprietary blend of 4 natural ingredients:
- Valerian Root: A natural relaxant that supports the production of calming neurotransmitters. Read more here.
- Tart Cherry: Provides building blocks for natural melatonin production, improving sleep duration. Read more here.*
- L-Tryptophan: Supports serotonin and melatonin synthesis, regulating sleep cycles. Read more here.
- Ashwagandha: Reduces cortisol levels to alleviate stress and foster deeper, uninterrupted sleep. Read more here.
Sleep Elixir is more than a product; it’s a commitment to redefining sleep fitness. It’s designed to help you transition from the day’s intensity to a state of calm, preparing your mind and body for restful sleep. But our journey doesn’t stop here. As we collect more data and refine our understanding of individual sleep needs, we’ll continue to improve Sleep Elixir, ensuring it evolves to meet your changing requirements.
Join us in redefining sleep fitness
We’re building something new here. Something that goes beyond the traditional approach to sleep supplements.
Thank you for being part of this mission and breakthrough. With your help we will push humanity forward, learning exactly what works best for individuals, and catering to every internal sleep need.
*Though tart cherries contain trace amounts of naturally-occurring melatonin, the tart cherry in Sleep Elixir is formulated far below the minimum effective dose of melatonin.
