You wake up at 4am and cannot get back.
It is the maintenance kind of insomnia, not onset. You fall asleep fine. The problem is the second half.
Concern · Sleep
Sleep is the variable that touches every other variable.
Take the four-minute test. A doctor reads where the leak is — onset, maintenance, depth — and ships a protocol that addresses it without melatonin dependence.
Take the 4-minute test→Sounds familiar?
You sleep seven hours and feel like four.
The duration is fine. The depth is not. You wake up tired.
You have been on melatonin for a year.
It works. But you do not love being on it. And you do not want to be on it forever.
Why this happens
Magnesium is commonly low.
Glycinate form at 300–400 mg before bed measurably improves sleep depth in deficient adults. Most Indian diets are below the RDA.
Cortisol is high at night.
Inverted cortisol curves wake you in the second half. The fix is upstream of the bedroom.
Caffeine half-life is longer than you think.
6–8 hours for most adults. A 4pm coffee is still in your system at 11pm. We surface this without judgment.

What a sample protocol looks like
Magnesium glycinate
Bedtime — best-evidenced sleep-depth supplement at low risk.
L-theanine
Wind-down — reduces sleep-onset latency without the hangover melatonin can leave.
Yours is built from your specific score profile. A doctor reviews before anything ships.
Common questions
Will this knock me out?+
No. The protocol supports sleep architecture rather than sedating you.
Can I take this with melatonin I am on?+
Yes — but the goal is usually to taper melatonin off. Your doctor sets a window for that.
How long until it works?+
Magnesium effect lands at 5–10 days. Cortisol-driven cases take 4–6 weeks.
Phase-2 concern — is this fully built?+
Yes. Sleep is in our priority concern list and live at launch. Some deeper diagnostics (HRV-driven personalisation) ship later.
