For couples who share a bed and a 3am wake-up

You wake at 3am. So do they.

One restless sleeper costs two people a night. Here are five things worth knowing before the next one.

What one scoop of Settl is built for:

  • Get to sleep faster
  • Wake less at 3am
  • Sleep deeper
  • Wake up refreshed

3:12am. Trying not to move.

You’ve been awake for twenty minutes and you’re lying very still, because the last time you rolled over they stirred. You’d get up, but the floorboard by the door creaks. You’d check the time, but the phone lights up the whole room.

So you lie there doing the maths, quietly. And at 6:30 you’re both a bit shorter with each other than you meant to be, and neither of you says why.

If that’s your house, the 3am problem isn’t only yours. Here’s what we think is going on, and what helps.

Five reasons it’s worth trying, for both of you.

  1. Fewer 3am wake-ups for you means fewer for them.

    Every time you surface, there’s a good chance they do too. The fidgeting, the sigh, the trip to the kitchen. Two light sleepers can keep each other up all night without either one meaning to.

    What helps

    Settl is built to help you wake less at 3am and sleep deeper through the back half of the night. Every scoop has 3,000mg of glycine and 200mg of L-theanine, the amino acid found in tea leaves.

  2. No getting up for the glass of water.

    Eight hours is the longest you go without water all day. Dry mouth at 3am, up for a glass, back into bed, and now two people are awake.

    What helps

    An electrolyte layer, so eight hours without water does not wake you dried out and needing to get up. Settl has 1,000mg of sodium and 200mg of potassium in every scoop. If you take a morning electrolyte sachet, you’ll know the dose.

  1. Asleep at the same time, not an hour after them.

    One of you is out in five minutes. The other is still awake at 11:40, running through tomorrow and trying not to fidget. Being the last one awake is its own kind of lonely.

    What helps

    Give the evening somewhere to land before you lie down. One scoop about 30 minutes before bed, built to help you get to sleep faster.

  2. No melatonin, so the morning stays friendly.

    A melatonin gummy can get you down and still leave you foggy until lunch. Foggy at 6:30, with lunches to make and a car to get out the door, is how small things turn into arguments.

    What helps

    Settl has no melatonin. None. Nothing to clear out of your system at 7am, so you wake up refreshed and a lot nicer to be around.

  3. Two glasses on the bench.

    A habit is easier to keep when someone else is doing it too. My wife copied my wind-down routine before Settl was even a product. Now it’s a ten-second thing we do at the kitchen bench before bed.

    What helps

    Scoop, stir, drink, about 30 minutes before bed. It dissolves in about ten seconds. One scoop each, so a tub lasts two people about two weeks.

Every dose is on the label.

Most sleep products go quiet here. Settl shows each ingredient at its dose, per scoop. Seven ingredients, no melatonin.

  • 1,000mgSodium, the electrolyte layer
  • 200mgPotassium
  • 900mgInositol

  • 50mgChamomile flower extract

Natural passionfruit flavour, sweetened with thaumatin. No melatonin, no caffeine, no colours, low sugar. Packed in Sydney, in a TGA-licensed GMP facility.

Why I made it.

For two years I bought every ingredient on this page separately. Six jars on the bench at 9pm, six scoops, and me counting doses after the kids were finally down. Four of them, so it was never early.

My wife copied it. Then a few mates asked what I was taking. So I put it in one tub. Same ingredients, same doses, one scoop. Give Settl 30 nights. Not sleeping better? Email us and we refund your first tub. Keep the tub.

“My husband used to wake me every night around three, tossing about. A month on Settl and we both get through most nights. I bought it for him, but honestly it was for me.”
Kylie M. Newcastle, NSW
“We both take it at nine now. It’s become the bit of the night where the phones go down and the day is done.”
Priya S. Brunswick, VIC
“The 3am thing was the killer for me. Wake up, brain switches on, night over. That still happens now and then, but I get back down instead of lying there until five.”

The questions couples ask.

What if I’m tired but still wired?

That’s the one Settl is built around. One scoop in cold water as the last thing you do, with 200mg of L-theanine and 3,000mg of glycine, so the evening has somewhere to land.

Will it leave me groggy?

No melatonin, so there’s no hormone to clear when you wake up. That’s exactly why it isn’t in the formula.

Can we both take it?

Yes, one scoop each. Adults only. A tub is 30 scoops, so two people get through one in about two weeks.

What does it taste like?

Passionfruit, salty-sweet, a bit like a cordial. It tastes a little salty on purpose: that’s the 1,000mg of sodium. Sweetened with thaumatin, no caffeine, no colours.

What if it does nothing for me?

Give Settl 30 nights. Not sleeping better? Email us and we refund your first tub. No forms, no reason needed, no return shipping. Keep the tub.

How do I cancel or pause?

Skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account. No calls, no fees.

When will it arrive?

Order before 2pm Sydney time and it leaves Sydney the same day. Free shipping Australia-wide, 1 to 4 business days, tracking by email.

Who is it for?

Adults only. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with your GP first. Settl is high in sodium, so if a health professional has told you to watch your salt, check with them before you use it.

Where is it made?

Packed in Sydney, in a TGA-licensed GMP facility. Settl is a food, not a listed medicine. That licence is not a TGA approval of this product and we do not hold one.

Try it for 30 nights.
