What comes after energy drinks? Spray-on sleep, of course

Behind on sleep? Douse yourself with some sleep spray and give your body what it’s asking for. Sleep aids abound, but veteran insomniacs know that most are limited in their abilities or, worse, have weird side effects, like sleepwalking. A new class of product now on the market offers to get you sleepy from a spray bottle. Made from a mixture of that includes the hormone melatonin, promoters claim that a spritz or two will get users snoozing. In a world in which the majority of people seem to be in need of a good night’s sleep, spray-on sleep may offer some relief. Whether this delivery system catches on or not, it is clear that we are seeing a trend in which people are monitoring their sleep more closely and desire to regulate it at will.
